The Climate Mobilization We are called the Climate Mobilization because the only precedent for the scale of action required to solve the climate crisis is the United States homefront mobilization during WWII. During that time, our economy transformed for the war effort in four years, industry shattered every record for production speed, up to 40 percent of vegetables were grown in peoples’ lawns and the country saw virtually full employment. The attacks on Pearl Harbor woke Americans up after years of denial about the Axis threat. But it’s up to ordinary people to wake America up to the climate crisis and initiate a just emergency climate mobilization from the bottom up.
