Climate neutrality is not enough, but even so-called zero emission targets alone are no longer sufficient. The replacement of jobs in the fossil industries by prioritized structural reforms towards renewable industries.ĥ. The targeted restructuring of fossil industries: through technical substitution programs, the elimination of structural subsidies and, where necessary, structural measures such as transformation assistance – as well as the immediate dismantling of the massive regulatory blocking for renewable grids, storage and distribution systems – supported by the New Energy Market Regulation.Ĥ. This includes a European and worldwide climate migration management plan: billions of fellow human beings will be forced to migrate very soon.ģ. The introduction of climate emergency diplomacy, that of ending wars and acts of war, in the common interest in the fight for survival – against the common enemy of global warming (link ). The introduction of a climate defense budget for the rapid phase-out of fossil fuels and a switch to renewable energies – this may account for at least five to ten percent of the gross national product, this would be four to eight times the current defense budget of the German Federal Republic.Ģ. This includes the requirements and concepts of this 10-point plan:ġ. Much more powerful methods are needed than those currently used in Germany, Europe and worldwide at cabinet and parliamentary levels: one that is tantamount to a general mobilization. Even less known than the large and rising methane surpluses is the loss of oxygen from the atmosphere and oceans due to fossi fuel combustion and heating, respectively, in a process known as deoxygenation. Not only have CO2 concentrations already risen to a 150% excess level: methane concentrations are already two and a half times higher than climate stability depended on over the past megayear. Earlier but still dominant concepts, such as targets for – further emitting and polluting – ‚climate neutrality‘ are inadequate and over periods of 20 to 30 years are far too long in view of current climate dynamics.
In view of the unprecedented, clear and immediate threat, all central energy systems, including those based on nuclear resources, must be dismantled and replaced now, in a mobilization of all regenerative resources for a decentralized and fully renewable supply. For all those who still nurture hope of preserving life on earth, there is no alternative to end the burning of all fossil resources immediately – coal, natural gas and oil. Not aimless panic is called for, but a completely unprecendented readiness for a risingrisk of large and rapid changes, and concomitant immediate emergency measures to avoid the worst. This is a time for highest but constructive alarm.
Now it is time to unleash the Regenerative Age Fossil energy consumption continues to rise, renewables are being slowed down.
Yet almost nothing has been done to stop it. This, combined with the permafrost melt means the rising risk of a abrupt climate change. This is further evidence that the process may have begun to wake up some or all of the 1400 gigatons of carbon still bound in methane hydrates on the sea floor. At the end of October the Russian-Swedish group of scientists on the research vessel R/V Akademik Keldysh reported unprecedented amounts of methane found along a 150-kilometer long and 10-kilometer wide strip of the continental slope 600 kilometers from the East Siberian coast in the Laptev Sea to depths of 350 meters.
