Preamble

The climate emergency has not abated and, despite the best efforts of many individuals and countries, it appears to have had little effect on carbon level rises.

The Statement of Species Rights below is provided because it is evident that we need to have some common ground as to what we are trying to achieve and how we can do that whilst still preserving what we still have.

The Global Warming Action Plan below places the responsibility for action on everyone and every country. The trouble with emissions is that it is too easy for a perpetrator to ignore their act – I mean once the smoke belches away in the wind I can turn away and pretend it’s not my problem. The steps below provide to-do checklist that puts the onus on everyone and it can be initiated now. It also provides an incentive for people and entities to protect and develop those systems which will reduce and even reverse carbon emission levels.

Statement of Species Rights

Species have a right to life.

Species have a right to live in their natural habitat.

Species have a right to a habitat that is natural and agreeable to their existence.

Humankind has a reasonable obligation to protect the rights of all species including his own.

Global Warming Action Plan (GWAP)

A pre-industrial target carbon level (Pit-C) is to be set as per the year 1778.

Countries are to be assessed for the following;

Current carbon emissions (CCO)
Current C02 emissions (CO2)

Countries are to be rated to ascertain their Offset Obligations (OO) based on a ratio derived by comparing CCO to CO2. The Pit-C target will be spread over an agreed time frame of no more than 10 years.

Countries will be levied as per their OO ratio. The higher the carbon level the higher the levy.

Levy payments will be used to finance existing and new producers according to their contribution to the Pit-C target.

Sanctions*

If a country refuses to participate in GWAP then the country will face punitive actions by supportive countries including diplomatic and trade sanctions.

If the above guidelines are not implemented by 1/7/20 the people of the world will act as per the punitive actions below as per the schedule – From 1/7/20 to 31/12/20 no travel will be made to offending country/s. From 1/1/21 to 30/6/21 also no products made by the offending country/s will be purchased. From 1/1/22 to 30/6/22 also no communication will be made with the offending country/s. From 1/7/22 to 31/1/22 also no goods will be sold or shipped to the offending country/s.
(*The exception to the above sanctions is being where life is at risk).

Management

The program will be managed by an International Certifier (IC) comprising no more than 21 people on the Management group consisting of at least 7 (non-politician) Scientists, and 7 (non-politician) lay people who are renowned for their environmental activism. The IC will be required to write monthly reports on their activities and refer these reports to all World States in a timely manner.
