1. Part 9 Requirements to Mitigate the Problem

2. Conclusions of the International Energy Agency (June 10, 2013) The world is not on track to meet the target agreed by governments to limit the long-term rise in the average global temperature to 2 degrees Celsius (°C). Despite positive developments in some countries, global energy-related C0 2 emissions increased by 1.4% to reach 31.6 gigatonnes (Gt) in 2012, a historic high. The following is a scenario for the implementation of four policies that can help keep the door open to the 2 °C target through to 2020 at no net economic cost. 1. Adopting specific energy efficiency measures (49% of the emissions savings). 2. Limiting the construction and use of the least-effcient coal-fred power plants (21%). 3. Minimising methane (CH 4 ) emissions from upstream oil and gas production (18%). 4. Accelerating the (partial) phase-out of subsidies to fossil-fuel consumption (12%). The energy sector is not immune from the physical impacts of climate change and must adapt. The financial implications of stronger climate policies are not uniform across the energy industry and corporate strategy will need to adjust accordingly.

3. We Must Make the World Governments Aware of the Seriousness of our Problem T HE 100 N ATION S CIENCE A CADEMIES AND S CIENCE S OCIETIES MUST ISSUE A NON - TECHNICAL REPORT ON GLOBAL WARMING UNDERSTANDABLE TO NON - SCIENCE POLITICIANS. (A TECHNICAL REPORT IS ALSO REQUIRED ) I N THE REPORT THEY MUST DEMAND THAT PRIMARILY DEVELOPED COUNTRIES REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS TO PREVENT A GLOBAL CATASTROPHE. F AILURE TO DO THIS WILL DOOM FUTURE GENERATIONS TO A HORRIBLE FUTURE OR POSSIBLY NO FUTURE AT ALL.

4. A Permanent Long-term Fix D ECREASE W ORLD CO 2 EMISSIONS 90 TO 95% AND A RTIFICIALLY E XTRACT CO 2 FROM THE ATMOSPHERE TO LOWER ITS ABUNDANCE FROM 400 PPM TO 350 PPM “Following cessation of emissions, (NATURAL) removal of atmospheric carbon dioxide decreases radiative forcing, but is largely compensated by slower loss of heat to the ocean, so that atmospheric temperatures do not drop significantly for at least 1,000 years.”

5. Global Warming: How Serious Is It? T HE MOST SERIOUS PROBLEM FACING HUMANITY SINCE CIVILIZATION BEGAN 11,000 YEARS AGO. I T COULD BE THE END OF CIVILIZATION IF WE DO NOT ACT NOW. “N OW ” IS NOT 2020 AS PROPOSED BY THE D EC. 2011 D URBAN, S. A FRICA C LIMATE C ONFERENCE.
