Comprehensive Plan of Action

Plan calling upon all nations to commit to effective action to comprehensively
deal with climate change and the threat of large methane releases in the Arctic.

Part 1. Reducing oceanic and atmospheric CO2

Part 2. Reducing other pollutants and Arctic geo-engineering

Part 3. Adaptation
1.1. Dramatic cuts in CO2 emissions


Most emissions are energy-related. Dramatic cuts in CO2 emissions can be
achieved by electrifying transport and shifting to generation of energy by
clean facilities such as solar panels and wind turbines.


Each nation should aim to reduce their CO2 emissions
by a minimum of 8% per year over the next ten years,
based on their 2009 emissions, and by 80% by 2020.

Local feebates can most effectively achieve cuts in
CO2 emissions; specifically recommended are energy
feebates as pictured on the next slide.
                                                         Emissions cut 80% by 2020
Energy feebates




                  The way back to 280ppm
1.2. Carbon removal from the atmosphere and the oceans

Carbon is naturally removed from the atmosphere and the oceans by
vegetation, so it makes sense to protect forests and encourage their growth, but
this alone will not be enough.

Energy feebates can
phase themselves out,
completing the
necessary shift to clean
energy within a decade.

Carbon dioxide removal
will need to continue for
much longer, so funding
will need to be raised
from other sources, such
as sales of livestock
products, nitrogen
fertilizers and Portland
                                               The way back to 280ppm
cement.
Agriculture, land use and construction feebates

There are ways to reduce ocean acidification, such as by adding lime to
seawater. Carbon capture from ambient air and pyrolysis of surplus biomass
with biochar burial are some of the most promising methods to further remove
carbon from the atmosphere.

Biochar and olivine sand can
also help with afforestation and
prevent deforestation and land
degradation.

Such feebates also work well
together with energy feebates,
e.g. funding of carbon air
capture could be raised through
fees on jet fuel.
                                                The way back to 280ppm
2.1. Phasing out chemical gases with high GWP


Some gases are best phased out through international agreements. This would
include gases such as HFC, PTC, SF6, halon, CFC and HCFC.

This can be achieved by protocols (such as a renewed Kyoto protocol, the
Montreal Protocol, etc), implemented in national standards and regulations,
e.g. regulations calling for deposits (refunded at collection) on products
containing certain inorganic pollutants.

2.2. Reducing emissions of further pollutants


Reductions should also be achieved in emissions of methane, nitrogen oxide
(NOx and particularly N2O) and aerosols.

International agreements have been proposed to establish:
    ● a ban on commercial drilling in the Arctic
    ● a ban on direct flights over the Arctic
    ● a ban on agricultural waste disposal by open fires
    ● a ban on deforestation
    ● increased monitoring and reporting

Additionally, reductions in short-lived pollutants can be achieved by local
feebates, as discussed before, and as pictured on the next slide.
Why act now, and how
2.3. Geoengineering, specifically aimed at the Arctic
3.1. Prepare for extreme weather events


Look at safety issues from the perspective of a changed world. It makes sense
to prepare for hailstorms, heavy flooding, severe droughts, wildfires, etc., and to
grow food that fits such weather patterns best.

                         Ten Dangers of Global Warming
3.2. Preserve biodiversity


Protection of rain forests is well covered in the media. Biodiversity can be
further preserved by means of seed banks, parks and wildlife corridors.


                            Urban Food Forest
3.3. Vegetate

Fresh water supply and food security require extensive planning, such as
selection of best crop. Build facilities for desalination both for fresh water in
cities and to irrigate and vegetate deserts and other areas with little vegetation.

Why act now, and how

  • 2. Why? See final slide for references
  • 3. Comprehensive Plan of Action Plan calling upon all nations to commit to effective action to comprehensively deal with climate change and the threat of large methane releases in the Arctic. Part 1. Reducing oceanic and atmospheric CO2 Part 2. Reducing other pollutants and Arctic geo-engineering Part 3. Adaptation
  • 4. 1.1. Dramatic cuts in CO2 emissions Most emissions are energy-related. Dramatic cuts in CO2 emissions can be achieved by electrifying transport and shifting to generation of energy by clean facilities such as solar panels and wind turbines. Each nation should aim to reduce their CO2 emissions by a minimum of 8% per year over the next ten years, based on their 2009 emissions, and by 80% by 2020. Local feebates can most effectively achieve cuts in CO2 emissions; specifically recommended are energy feebates as pictured on the next slide. Emissions cut 80% by 2020
  • 5. Energy feebates The way back to 280ppm
  • 6. 1.2. Carbon removal from the atmosphere and the oceans Carbon is naturally removed from the atmosphere and the oceans by vegetation, so it makes sense to protect forests and encourage their growth, but this alone will not be enough. Energy feebates can phase themselves out, completing the necessary shift to clean energy within a decade. Carbon dioxide removal will need to continue for much longer, so funding will need to be raised from other sources, such as sales of livestock products, nitrogen fertilizers and Portland The way back to 280ppm cement.
  • 7. Agriculture, land use and construction feebates There are ways to reduce ocean acidification, such as by adding lime to seawater. Carbon capture from ambient air and pyrolysis of surplus biomass with biochar burial are some of the most promising methods to further remove carbon from the atmosphere. Biochar and olivine sand can also help with afforestation and prevent deforestation and land degradation. Such feebates also work well together with energy feebates, e.g. funding of carbon air capture could be raised through fees on jet fuel. The way back to 280ppm
  • 8. 2.1. Phasing out chemical gases with high GWP Some gases are best phased out through international agreements. This would include gases such as HFC, PTC, SF6, halon, CFC and HCFC. This can be achieved by protocols (such as a renewed Kyoto protocol, the Montreal Protocol, etc), implemented in national standards and regulations, e.g. regulations calling for deposits (refunded at collection) on products containing certain inorganic pollutants.

  • 9. 2.2. Reducing emissions of further pollutants Reductions should also be achieved in emissions of methane, nitrogen oxide (NOx and particularly N2O) and aerosols. International agreements have been proposed to establish: ● a ban on commercial drilling in the Arctic ● a ban on direct flights over the Arctic ● a ban on agricultural waste disposal by open fires ● a ban on deforestation ● increased monitoring and reporting Additionally, reductions in short-lived pollutants can be achieved by local feebates, as discussed before, and as pictured on the next slide.
  • 11. 2.3. Geoengineering, specifically aimed at the Arctic
  • 12. 3.1. Prepare for extreme weather events Look at safety issues from the perspective of a changed world. It makes sense to prepare for hailstorms, heavy flooding, severe droughts, wildfires, etc., and to grow food that fits such weather patterns best. Read more at: Ten Dangers of Global Warming
  • 13. 3.2. Preserve biodiversity Protection of rain forests is well covered in the media. Biodiversity can be further preserved by means of seed banks, parks and wildlife corridors. Urban Food Forest
  • 14. 3.3. Vegetate Fresh water supply and food security require extensive planning, such as selection of best crop. Build facilities for desalination both for fresh water in cities and to irrigate and vegetate deserts and other areas with little vegetation.
