Near Term Needed Pollution Reductions to Stop Dangerous
Anthropogenic (man-made) Interference (DAI) With
Climate / Irreversibility
Here are highlights of the Draft Paper:
- Climate Pollution is Now at a Dangerous Level of 383 ppm CO2. NASA and other leading scientists announced in December and November that we exceeded the safe level of climate pollution and are now at a Dangerous level. This level is in violation of law and presents an unacceptable risk. The maximum safe level is 350 ppm.Download dai_irreversibility_paper_fourth_draft.doc
- Irreversible Dangerous Climate Change is Imminent. We must make substantial climate pollution reductions in the next 10 years or else Dangerous Climate Change will likely go Irreversible.
- Sustainable Mortgage Backed Securities (SMBS) Can Stop Imminent Irreversible Dangerous Climate Change Within this 10 year Window. See SMBS Brochure for background Download partnership_brochure. 10-24-07.pdf SMBS are bonds backed by certified green buildings and sustainable products.
- We Need 3.4M Green Buildings and 1.5M Sustainable Products by 2015 to Stop Runaway Dangerous Climate Change which includes a 40% Margin of Safety to allow for uncertainties and recently documented climate pollution growth exceeding IPCC worst case pollution predictions.
- No Other Discernible Existing or Proposed Programs Cover Reductions in this Window. They all become effective in 2020 or later.
- Insurance and Real Estate Finance Industries are Being Adversely Affected with damages that are close to exceeding their capacity.
- SMBS is Expected to Add $1 Trillion / yr. to the Economy & counter the Subprime crisis and economic recession.
