standing outside a mall with a loudspeaker, imnofox declared a state of climate emergency

"Good people of Lancashire! I don't want to overstate the challenges we face as a nation, but nor do I want to understate them either. Climate change is an existential threat to all of us, and the Tories will do nothing substantive to combat this challenge!"

"As developed countries drag our feet over tackling this global emergency, people are already losing their homes to rising seas, losing their crops due to intensified droughts, and losing their infrastructure to erosion. The climate crisis is already upon us, and we cannot drag our feet any longer."

"The latest IPCC report gives us just 12 years to keep warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius, low enough to avoid the worst of the crisis. But that is not a lot of time, and it is a period of time that is so short solely because major emitters have dragged their feet. We must play a stronger role!"

"Only one candidate in this race has the qualifications and the authority on this existential issue. This by-election, reject the Tories and their status-quo politics, and fight for the survival of the human race and our planet. Vote /u/DF44!"

many a passer by cheered at the rousing but equally concerning speech
