Suggestions of the CMDM
Posted: Mon Dec 07, 2009 11:19 pm
The Constitutional Monarchy of Democratic Mahaland would like to announce the following suggestions for the CPRS:
1) A carbon pollution reduction target be set for all nations existing on Earth. This will consist of a global target (such as 20% by 2050) and minimum national targets (such as 10% by 2050). Nations will be able to make realistic individual targets according to their carbon pollution capabilities but will be encouraged to announce targets of atleast 20%. Please not the above percentages and time frames are examples, not sugestions.
2) That a subsidary body of the WA be established with the purpose of ensuring that nations are able to achieve their targets efficiently and economically. This may include a fund to assist poor or developing nations establish renewable energy production plants and international cooperative research into affordable and efficient forms of renewable energy.
3) Nations existing on planets other than Earth also be encouraged to become more environmentally sustainable.
Mahaland would also wish to point out that renewable energy is not the only way to reduce carbon emissions. Other methods of reducing pollution could include geosequestation, a technology that already works successfully in Mahaland, encouraging residents to save energy, discourage overuse of electricity by raising electricity prices and enocuraging the use of public transport and reducing commuting times.
Mahaland also points out that this resolution is not, and should not be, a recognition that man made climate change exists. The opinions of individual nations should not become involved in the debate over this resolution. This resolution should be further developed, refined and passed regardless of whether climate change exists or not.
