Getting a good political environment for geoengineering once things get hold ...
Early Day Motion
EDM 2057
CLIMATE CHANGE (No. 2)
15.10.2009
Challen, Colin
That this House recognises that there is a climate emergency and that the
catastrophic destabilisation of global climate represents the greatest threat
that humanity faces; further recognises that the world is already above the
safe level of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration for a stable planet;
further recognises the need to reduce this level to 350 particles per million
or below; believes it is impossible to predict how close the world is to
dangerous tipping points and that action to reduce emissions now is worth
considerably more than doing the same later; further believes that immediate
action is required to enact a program of emergency measures with substantial
emissions reductions in the short term of the order of 10 per cent. by the end
of 2010; further believes that the majority of money spent on reviving the
economy should be on green measures and that at least two hours of prime time
television per week should be used to explain the gravity of the crisis to the
public; further believes that unabated coal and domestic flights should be
phased out by the end of 2010, that a speed limit of 55 miles per hour should
be introduced and investment made in energy efficiency and renewable energy,
public transport and the retro-fitting of efficient insulation to existing
housing stock technologies leading to the creation of a million green jobs by
the end of 2010; and further believes that the introduction of such measures
would send a positive signal to other countries leading up to the UN climate
change summit in Copenhagen and beyond.
