Open Letter to the delegates attending the forthcoming climate conference in Brazil.
It’s no longer good enough to accept climate change.
We either do something about it or suffer the consequences.
This is not an emergency that will come to an end, this is a long term crisis, that is going to cost trillions to resolve.
With somewhere in the region of 50, 000 delegates the conference its self will leave a carbon footprint.
But that’s not the point of this article.
It’s been ten years we have been having climate conferences that resulted in setting a global warming target 1.5 % rise which has already been broken.
We got to be aware this crisis will not be solved by governments who are strapped by the economy for cash they will see an opportunity to make money by turning the climate into a product.
The main problem is securing the money in order to do anything constructive about it.
Countries that did not have the benefits or of the Industrial Revolution are rightly saying we did not contribute to the crisis so why should we have to pay.
There is only one road to go down which would be fair on non developed countries and would at the same time not increase tax on hard pressed taxpayers.
That is ( and we have the technology to do it) place a 0.5% Climate commission on all toll roads, toll bridges .
These funds to be granted to climate projects, like cover roof of housing, factories , supermarkets, football stadiums , you name it with solar panels. Up grading the grit to except green generated power etc.
Has anyone got a better idea.
Let’s hear it.
All human comments appreciated. All like clicks and abuse chucked in the bin.
