The lack of progress in negotiating any agreement when time is rapidly running out before we lose control over whether dangerous climate change will happen is frightening. I have not really been able to understand why when the science is so clear that it has been so difficult to build a massive campaign that is impossible for the government to ignore. The campaign has to be multi-faceted incuding protests, disruptive actions, civil disobedience, and a carbon dioxide strike where we refuse to go to work for the day. The campaign so far has been so white, middle class and "reasonable" that it has achieved almost nothing. The campaigns aims have to be clear, unequivocal and demanded with absolutely clarity of purpose and action. Behaving unreasonably is now a reasonable course of action.
We must promote the contraction and convergence model for the global reduction in carbon dioxide emissions over other models. It is the only equitable model there is and does not entrench the notion that because you polluted more in the past that you can do so in the future. Why should somebody who emits 100 kilograms per year now have to make a 80% cut at the same time as somebody who emits 100 tons per year now makes an 80% cut. But the same goes for whether it is 20 tons and 10 tons. My future allowed carbon emissions should not be based on my previous carbon emissions.
