At first glance, people might think that any regulatory action would be welcome given the lack of action on climate change. In any case, if we have a say in the matter, why not advocate what we think is the best policy? The Climate Planning blog provides people with the opportunity to participate in effective and comprehensive action calls.
Feebates are usually the most effective way to achieve the required turnaround, and they are usually best implemented locally. Some lines of action may require a more international approach, which is particularly relevant to the management of surplus heat, which has been established over the years, as shown in the figure above in Section 2.
Importantly, in order for the climate plan to be both comprehensive and effective, these different sections and each of their relevant action lines must be implemented at the same time.
Why local fees?
A carbon tax is more direct and efficient than shell and trade or standard. Because sales taxes are so common, carbon taxes can often be implemented in the same way, i.e. added as a percentage and collected with the current sales tax. However, the name carbon tax is somewhat misleading, as the comprehensive climate plan does not include carbon dioxide alone. The word tax can be a barrier for many who fear that government money will be wasted in government bureaucracy. In addition, the effectiveness of the policy can be further enhanced by allocating revenue for specific purposes that will help to combat climate change. This makes the term “tax” more appropriate than “tax”. Finally, discounts are usually the best way to help clean products increase their market share. In conclusion, the most effective way to move to a cleaner product is to combine local fees, i.e. fees and discounts. In each case, the people have, for the first time, been offered a chance to vote. Sold locally and forms a clean place for contaminated products.
How are local fees best implemented?
Because of accountability, it is best to join the federal government-run Feebate Trust, but only if there is enough progress in the fight against climate change at the national level can it best deal with fee management within a state. Corresponding state. So countries can realize a huge level of remuneration and support, as well as what kind of mixed policies will work best. In the absence of such progress, the federal agency may decide to restore control and transfer revenue to federal programs, such as the construction of high-speed rail lines across the state border, the management of biological waste in state parks, and federal research assistance. Climate change, etc.
Heads of state can also decide to delegate their powers to the local level, allowing each local council to implement the fees that are considered to work best in their area. Similarly, state administrators can regain control and direct revenue to the state program in the absence of progress in a particular area.
Local fees, do we need this?
An important part of the plan is for the federal government to restore control over the amount of money collected in a country. This will help all states get on the plane. It is also used where states entrust their powers to local councils, which encourages local councils to take effective measures or to pay state revenues and revenues to support state projects that help fight climate change.
Does it work internationally?
People believe that it is clear that they agree to support the most effective ways to make the necessary changes. In addition, the way the plan works is a prerequisite for each country to pursue a real change and a prerequisite for the realization of its own policy.
Penalties may be included as part of the International Trade Agreement to ensure that each country makes the necessary changes. Implementing such penalties may be relatively simple. If a country does not take effective measures, countries that export products to such a country may charge a fee and spend their income voluntarily.
Internationally, action is also needed to reduce the impact of maritime transport and aviation, while at the same time addressing the threat of marine acid conversion and methane emissions. And budget concerns, while it can also enable many operational decisions to be taken at the local level where the action is to be implemented. As an example, where sufficient funding is lacking, fees could be imposed on international flights (in addition to the fees on fuel and airplanes that are part of the feebates discussed above) and the revenues could be applied directly and exclusively to support such international causes . International agreement on what action is needed and how funding can be raised can do a lot to help speed up the implementation of the necessary action at a local level.
Some potential action will need sufficient research to be done, to avoid that action by one nation could have a negative impact on other nations. In such cases, the Climate Plan calls for supervision of the U.N. (see top image).
Why this Climate Plan should be supported
This Climate Plan offers a great amount of flexibility for each individual country to choose the policies they want, and in fact, recommends countries to delegate the action to states and local level. This, and the effectiveness of the proposed policies make that this Climate Plan has a good chance to become widely accepted across the globe.
In other words, the Climate Plan does not prescribe feebates, it merely recommends feebates, for a number of reasons. The Climate Plan intends to follow the implementation of feebates around the world, in an effort to share experiences and thus help anyone find attractive ways to accomplish the necessary shifts.
Feebates can be implemented in budget-neutral ways, while the administrative framework is already in place, i.e. implementation can take place on the back of sales taxes, vouchers, tax returns, and other policy instruments that are already commonly used all over the world.
Their effectiveness can make that feebate can accomplish the rapid shifts that are necessary for the light of catastrophic climate developments that will take without action.
More discussion of the benefits of feebates can be viewed at the blog at feebates.blogspot.com and the Action Plan is also discussed on this page and this post at the Arctic-news blog.
Once more, if we have a say in the matter, why not advocate the policies that work best?
Why the Climate Plan must be supported
While Earth as a whole is experiencing global warming, warming in the Arctic is taking place much more rapidly. Accelerated warming in the Arctic threatens to destabilize methane stored in the form of hydrates and free gas in sediments underneath the Arctic Ocean, in a vicious spiral triggering further methane releases and escalating into a third kind of warming: runaway global warming. The risk that this situation poses is intolerable, as further described on the Feedbacks page.

How to support the Climate Plan
You are encouraged to share this post and the images widely. You can also announce local action in line with the Climate Plan at facebook.com/groups/ClimatePlan and invite people to join in your local area. Just by joining that group, celebrities, politicians, economists, and scientists could make an extremely helpful contribution.
