I understood the distinction you're trying to draw between results and attempts on "minimizing the loss of life." I didn't mean to imply that your resolution demands results. I have an issue with even making the attempt. It is too arduous, contradictory to my nation's more important laws and unnecessary as our volcanoes aren't imminently erupting. And your resolution mandates making an attempt to build infrastructure in my untouched natural wilderness and violating the sovereignty of indigenous people who are making perfectly reasonable choices to live in ash zones.
Critically, I brought up the point that our volcanoes aren't at imminent risk because scientifically, the vast, vast majority of volcanoes are not. But your resolution makes no distinction for this. The actionable clauses mandate that we deal with all predicted volcanic activity by doing as your resolution says. Even volcanic activity predicted 2,500 years from now in my nation's case, or perhaps 100,000 years from now in other cases. The only way to resolve this honestly would be to make compliance option, which is of course, absurd, since in that case no resolution is even needed. Thus my point, this resolution isn't needed, arduously regulates people who live near volcanoes who know much better than you about the risk, and will do untold environmental damage for no good reason.
I would have loved to make these complaints during the draft process but I wasn't aware of your resolution. Regardless of when I found it, the issues are clear to me. I will begin plans to repeal.
If you're going to make a repeal, don't just make it completely based on NatSov, you have to actually address the contents of the resolution. Also, draft first.
I don't plan to make much of a NatSov argument at all. And I'm an author so I love drafting work. I also love feedback and criticism, which I'm sure there will be plenty of since this resolution is passing with popular support. My objective is to convince people that volcanic activity regulation is tremendously important, but this falls way short and should be replaced.
