You become the purse from where both your industry and your politicians draw their support. And in this case you will be paying both for the emissions that doesn't come to be as well as for the emissions that already exist.

don't think about those things as 'sharing the cost', it's not sharing, it's making it 'profitable'.

It's the same technique as with the one not capping bore holes, instead paying a small sum to the government for letting them be as they are. Once it becomes time to cap them those companies will have gone into liquidation, bankruptcy or getting off by some other technicality, leaving the costs to you.

What the The Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) states is very simple. Those who should pay for the emissions and global warming are the same ones that already pays a price for it, not the ones profiting on it. It's a 'protection scheme' of sorts, set up by your politicians and industries, using you. Most of the things making a profit should be able to be sorted out in simple terms, and this is as simple as I can get it.

You can either see it as a way to minimize the effects of greed, egoism, ignorance and hubris, or as a proof of there existing other values too, or as a combination of both.

 If it goes the way I expect I better add :)

Funny

The opposite of what you call 'democracy' today.
Transparency.

And yes, I do think it will have the ability to change both beliefs and ideals once set in motion. It's the next step for any democracy, of any kind. You have to be very careful with how you set it up though. It needs total transparency at all levels if you want it to work.

It builds on trust, not distrust.

It will also introduce checks on all decisions, at a regional as well as national level, just by involving all. And there will be no hierarchy to it, no one to bribe or exchange 'favors' with. As I say, for those of you used to life being this way it must become a very scary vision. But it is what I think to be the only way out of this game.

And if we don't get out of it we will go extinct.

It doesn't guarantee anything more than that. It doesn't state that we will be sane in our choices, although I hope we will once a majority get a fair chance to state the goals.

The democracy I describe is a way out of it. It relies on you, becoming responsible. Something you've been missing since you were born. We didn't build the game on responsibility.

Another thing you should understand by now is that this game of inequality we play is a global phenomena. It doesn't care about politics, it is what makes politics.

It's your very own bubble of logic's, and it will carry you, all the way to a extinction.

And why you won't get out of anything insisting on playing it?

Real politik and 'game theory' is part of it.

You could call the game the ultimate pyramid scheme. And you know what it builds on. Greed, egoism, ignorance and hubris, lifted up to ideals and beliefs. It's also a cosmic joke.

Of course we're failed, all of us. No one is perfect and the game steers us. I call it self reinforcing. It's also physically impossible to play, but we still do it.

Things like that is what your clowns, sorry, leaders can produce. Their way of 'protecting' you and your game. You can still play it, for a limited time only. So jump on board before it's too late.
