Protecting the weak: put an air and sea carbon levy back on the table : Comments

By Jack Bennetto, published 27/11/2013

Global greenhouse gas emissions continue to soar with little constraint, yet if countries continue to coast with unambitious reduction commitments we are on track for 3 to 4 degrees of dangerous warming.

My primary solution to severe Typhoons such as Haiyan is to evacuate the area as is been done in India right now.

My second suggestion is don’t build too close to the coast in cyclone prone areas. Building codes are irrelevant if your house is flooded to 20 feet or so as happened in New Orleans when Katrina hit.

My third suggestion is to monitor the weather more closely so that people can be given plenty of warning.

My fourth suggestion is that richer countries stop adding to the existing problems of climate change by failing to reduce their emissions of CO2 and other GHGs.
