Quo Vadis Climate = Quo Vadis World!

Washington DC Area March 7, 2023

If scientists prove facts, while politicians and business leaders around the world do not take the necessary action, we will find ourselves in a reality that has no future.

Blindness or stubbornness could be perceived as a compliment to their motivation to maintain a fatal course whose devastating consequences are on the horizon. Wake up, or go back to school.

Heavy rainfall, extreme heat periods, extensive forest fires, large-scale species extinction, or the melting of the ice on Greenland do not pose a major problem for the world, politicians and business leaders still argue to keep their positions maintained, and refusing to take immediate action. Instead, they promote the highest military spending ever and ignore the fact that the climate cannot be defeated militarily. Money is used to further destroy the planet.

THEY ARE ACTING IRRESPONSIBLY!

Economic growth activities as we pursue them today on a major scale act as a catalyst for the climate to trigger worldwide changes to the environment that follow the laws of physics. Therefore, increasing economic growth activities come with decreasing environmental qualities.

The climate is at the heart of our existence and enables us, as Homo sapiens, to live on Earth. Why do we ignore it? There is no other planet to colonize except in the illusions of billionaires or in science fiction movies. Don’t forget travel time and exposure to cosmic radiation, which can be life-threatening or even fatal. In other words, there is a risk that you will arrive “dead” after your long journey. The conditions we need as Homo sapiens have not been found so far anywhere else in the universe. Period.

In the beginning, our business models must focus on “negative commercial growth” if the new paradigm is to ensure safe survival. Currently, we as a global community are not doing enough to avoid a scenario of humanity’s self-extinction. There are tremendous opportunities for every industry to reverse course, limited only by imagination.

The climate is not negotiable. We know the physical laws and can foresee developments that require measures. In the next 100 years, we will see more and more dramatic effects that threaten people in their native habitats. They may have to move to other already populated regions, and that may not be just hundeds, possibly millions. Once the Mayans lost their habitat to deforestation and burning of wood for new building materials. Nature is an integrated, complex part of our human existence, and small things can have a big impact. Don’t be foolish.

100 years of Earth time is equivalent to less than one second of a year.

There Is A Way Out:

1.) Establishing a Global Science Climate Board (GSCB) with cross-country executive power to implement green technology measures. The richest countries (major polluters) pay the price for the poorest countries in order to bring them simultaneously to a world standard for emission-free energy supply. Each country has its own Country Science Climate Board (CSCB) reporting to the GSCB. The CSCB operates as an independent multiperson governing body representing environmental science with parliamentary overriding power. No political decisions without scientific assessment and acknowledgment will pass legislation.

2.) Enforcing Green Energy Solutions Worldwide, prioritizing on the highest local pollution levels first. Developed solutions will be utilized around the globe creating jobs with the latest technologies simultaneously.

3.) Reducing Globalization, which is a major global distributing contributor to climate change.

5) Political enforcement of financial market regulations: Policymakers act locally with time-consuming measures, while financial markets act globally in milliseconds. This discrepancy leads to instability and inflation for the world and profits for the financial markets under unacceptable economic-ecological long-term conditions. (A) Bank loans must be 100% backed by physical assets, (B) Eliminate virtual gains (“flipping”) without proof of physical ownership at destination or local residence, (C) Eliminate trading of borrowed funds, (D) Eliminate credit cards, the cash cow for banks and the debt grave for consumers, with a debt tsunami of nearly USD 1 trillion in the U.S. alone as per third quarter of 2022, a 15% year-over-year increase. (E) Closing tax loopholes, the hidden paradise to escape from liabilities (F) Taxing foreign investments due to their destabilization of local markets, such as real estate, (G) Taxing products and services based on climate impact, from sourcing to purchasing, (H) Implementing an Environmental Waste Tax (EWT) as a climate awareness tax.

6.) Immediately Reducing Energy Consumption At All Levels. Energy prices can be structured on base loads per household/industry. Exceeding the base load is taxed with a 100% surcharge.

7.) Adjusting Business Plans. Less is much more for the world. Our resources are not endless. We actually need much less of what we produce, buy, and then dispose of. A triple punch to the environment.

8.) Traffic Regulations For Car Allowance based on the last digit of the license plate by an even or odd number applied to the day of the month. This would reduce associated traffic emissions by 50% from the first day of implementation. Additionally, fixing a car-free day per month, like on Sundays.

We need to reinvent ourselves, producing sustainable and environmentally friendly components together with suppliers. All industries have tremendous opportunities to reposition themselves without limits. Only one’s own imagination limits the scope. It will not become boring on our planet. The Anthropocene of Reason begins.

We Have A Chance And The Choice Is Ours! The Earth Does Not Need Us, But We Need The Earth, Which Makes A Huge Difference. If We Reach The Point Of No Return, All Measures Can’t Reverse It. Remember, Climate Is The Core Of Our Existence On Earth. The Climate Acts As We Behave By Following The Laws Of Physics. Nothing Political, Cultural, Or Personal, Just Pure Physics As We Know It And Without Border Limitations. What Is Your Point To Reject The Facts And Put Humanity To Extinction On This Planet?

THOSE WHO REJECT SUCH AN APPROACH MUST PROPOSE AN ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE SURVIVAL STRATEGY OF OUR GLOBAL COMMUNITY. REJECTION, NO VALUE CONTRIBUTION, OR BUSINESS AS USUAL ARE NOT VARIABLES.

GLOBAL COMMUNITY LEADERS MUST ACT AS AN EXECUTIVE CROSS-BORDER MANAGEMENT BOARD TO INVEST IN AND PROTECT THE CLIMATE ON THE PLANET BY IMPROVING SHAREHOLDER VALUES. WE, THE PEOPLE, ARE THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE CLIMATE! FURTHER LIVING WITHIN WORSENING HUMAN CLIMATE CONDITIONS IS A BETRAYAL TO SHAREHOLDERS.

Quo Vadis Climate determines Quo Vadis World! Now it’s our turn to shift from talks to global actions. The Earth has time, we don’t! If you don’t trust scientific evidence, you can’t trust yourself!
