Hi

The recent publication of the "World Scientist's Warning of a climate emergency" called me on one issue: far less signatories are associated than for the 2017 "Second notice", and I was wondering why.

I guess the call for signatories was the same, even greater, but likely not decreased ? Do weconsider that >4000 "lacking" signatures are artefactual ? or may we give them a meaning ? From my side, I forwared to many people, including students, as I have done previously. I got those kinds of replies: "... it is useless ..." , "I think it will not change anything", ... "I signed the first one but it is even worst and worst"

Would this be indicative of pessimism, in youngest (or not) scientists ? fatalism ? waiver ?

Comments welcome, maybe more optimistic !

Regards,
