Following the recent IPCC climate change report, is it now time to get real, accept people aren't going to change without the force of law and start a move towards benevolent dictatorships to save us all?

Manifesto pledges for starters:

AIR TRAVEL - All citizens to be issued with one air travel voucher per year, transferable. Those wishing to have more foreign holidays will have to buy vouchers from those willing to sell. This should lead to a reduction in air travel whilst those unable to afford foreign holidays, or not wanting to use their voucher, can get some income from selling their vouchers.

COMMUTING - Those living within 3 miles of their place of work/study aren't allowed to drive there without a medical certificate proving they can't walk/cycle or access public transport for the journey.

PLASTIC STRAW AND COTTON BUD BAN - No proposal to ban them....we're just going to ban them as from NOW.

PRIVATE CARS - Maximum two cars per household, no exceptions. Tax breaks for one car or no car households.





Any more pledges anyone?

One of The biggest contributors to man made air pollution is cattle and human beings craving for beef product. As the world has become more wealthy the demand for steak has increased rapidly and cattle farming and subsequent methane emissions have followed accordingly.

Start with India, China, Brazil and all those other countries that pollute the hell out of the atmosphere!

UN led benevolent dictatorship then? Oh wait, only China of those three will get any real say in that.

So can we add.....any meat eaters have 1 week to change their ways or be shot at dawn? And 'Flexitarians' can do one!

Or is that a bit TOO extreme?
