Climate Change “ , I had the opportunity to read your
views on the urgency for government ACTION , to prevent a disaster
In this context , you might want to look up my following email
to our Policy Makers
I would appreciate your comments , if any , on what I have
suggested
With regards,

Subject: COUNT-DOWN HAS BEGUN !
Climate Conundrum ?
---------------------------
No
wonder if you type in Google “
Climate Change Report “ , you get 729,000 results !
Recent
media ( online and offline ) are full of articles on the Climate Change Report
just published by UN’s Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change [ IPCC ]
Following are the highlights :
· Average
global temperature will rise by 1.5 degree Celsius , by 2030
· This
will lead to Draughts – Famine
– Dying forests – Forest
fires – Melting ice – Disappearing glaciers – Warming
Seas – Shifting currents – Species loss – Decline
in fish catch – Declining crop yield –
Sea level rise – Decline
in coral reefs – Extreme heat waves – Tornados – Flooding of low lying coastal cities etc………..
· All
of this is caused by emission of green-house gases ( mostly CO2 ) emitted by coal-based power plants and exhaust gases from petrol / diesel vehicles ( transport )
What needs to be done to stop
/ arrest this change ?
· De-commission
coal based power plants , as fast as we can
· Change
over to Renewable Energy plants [ mainly
solar ] – faster than we think we can !
· Stop manufacture of Petrol / Diesel
Vehicles – by 2025 ?
· Total
change-over to Electric Vehicles – by 2030 ?
What is required ?
[
as per : https://www.theguardian.com/science/2018/oct/08/world-leaders-told-they-must-act-over-climate-change-cliff-edge
]
· Political leadership
· Framework necessary to spur greater finance
· Unprecedented Funding and Coordination
· Judicial Intervention
Not
having read the original report , I don’t know if it contains a list of SPECIFIC ACTIONS to
be taken by the countries
But
following are a few suggestions that I have emailed to our Policy Makers in the
past

Our political leaders are busy with the
countdown to 2019 ( general election ) from the comfort of their
air-conditioned cabins / homes
That leaves it to the Media ( online and
offline ) to invite the ordinary citizens to ask :
· Who should take a lead ( I
firmly believe that should be NGOs / Public Policy Think Tanks ) in coming up with
practical suggestions to avert the impending disaster ?
· For larger GOOD of the
Society , shall we sacrifice narrow vested interests of certain industries /
businesses ?
· If India is going to be one
of the worst affected due to climate change , should not the citizens draw up a
CHARTER
OF DEMANDS [ a
very detailed / specific ACTION PLAN ],send it to the political parties by end Nov 2018 , and tell
the political parties :
“ We will NOT vote for those political parties in 2019 Election , which
refuses to
accept
to implement this CHARTER , whether voted to power or sitting in the
opposition “
2030 is the Doomsday and the countdown has
started !
