Climate Change - Global Solution

“Whatever we do, let’s do it together, right now.” Sir Paul McCartney on tackling climate change

The climate crisis is being once again being discussed by the world’s leaders when they gather in Glasgow for the COP26 Summit on climate change. People around the world watch and await eagerly on the large nations such as China and India, and US of course, to committ to the actions to slow down the climate change. Urgent action is needed now. Sir David Attenburgh said in his speech “There could not be a more important moment”.

Global Planet Authority: How we’re about to save the biosphere. This brilliant book by Angus Forbes is available from Amazon.

You may have bumped into Angus if you live in South West London, seen him walking his dogs in Richmond Park or Wimbledon Common, or having a quiet pint at his local. This is the unassuming Angus Forbes, usually playing second fiddle to his wife, Dame Darcey Bussell, now quietly but powerfully about to help us save the biosphere.

In lectures and in his compelling first book, Angus argues that we will form and appoint a global authority, with power over all organisational forms, including the nation states, whose sole job will be to deliver global biophysical integrity for the ultra-long term.

For the first time in human history, we have joined Mother Nature in the driving seat of the biosphere, having part responsibility for the planet’s ability to sustain life as we know it. This is the essence of the new long-term era we have entered: the Anthropocene

In 2022, nearly 33 years after Sir Tim Berners-Lee wrote the computer program HTML and gave us the World Wide Web, 5 billion of us will be connected to each other via the internet. Connectivity, unity and power of a global citizenship that means we can undertake our first act of global self-determination.

As it stands, we are destroying our only home. The blame for the current predicament lies squarely with us all because we have not created the right governance tool for protecting our most valuable global asset, but this is a situation we can now correct with one click on our phones, one allocation of personal sovereignty en masse.

“The most visionary book since Silent Spring.”
