Introduction
Opening of the book
Inspiration
The author explains how he became interested in the CO₂ problem.
The fascinating CO₂ problem
The CO₂ problem appears – after an in-depth study – to present unexpected opportunities.
The CO₂ concept
The concept of CO₂ is often used to refer to Greenhouse Gases (GHG) in general, like nitrous oxides, soot and dust particles instead of just carbon dioxide.
Production loss and CO₂
Fossil fuels all emit too much CO₂, but the differences in emission as a result of different production losses per fuel are not as great as we think.
The CO₂ Inquisition
We have to try to change the financial dependence of CO₂ experts from researching to solving.
The debate on climate change
The climate has always been subject to extreme changes, even when fossil fuels were not being used.
Conceptual perception
Due to wrong assumptions, upbringing and education we describe hot or cold temperatures and large or small temperature variations different from reality.
CO₂ viewed from a different angle
Only a higher concentration of CO₂ compared to the average original CO₂ concentration is considered pollution.
Comparing air to water
We have to treat air the same as we treat water: clean it 100% after use.
The Kyoto Protocol
The Kyoto Protocol has divided the world into two groups of countries: those who should reduce CO₂ emissions and in return received eternal limited pollution rights and those who have received eternal unlimited pollution rights.
Reduction is delay
The Kyoto Protocol neither reduces, nor decreases, nor lowers but only delays the final total quantity of CO₂ emissions by means of efficiency improvement or applying alternative energy sources.
Delay is not wrong, but it is no solution either
Delay as a process to limit the annual emission is not wrong, but as a solution to the – possible – climate change it is inadequate.
The relocation of CO₂ pollution
Relocating delayed CO₂ emissions to other countries is not a solution.
CO₂ is not toxic
Just like oxygen, CO₂ is useful. Only too much CO₂ is bad.
Humanity emits 30% of CO₂
The target of 5.4% delay in emissions as described in the Kyoto Protocol only has an effect of 5.4% of 30% = 1.6% on the total annual emission of CO₂. Such a small limitation has no effect on the climate whatsoever, should CO₂ really be the cause of climate change.
The split position of the United Nations
The United Nations put two kinds of CO₂ policy in effect: a stimulating policy (the Millennium Goals) and a restraining policy (the Kyoto Protocol).
Choosing between useless and useful investments
CO₂ emissions policies cost billions and have little effect now or later as calculations show. These billions should be spent usefully instead of uselessly.
Clean energy
Every government should only invest in an energy production solution that is available 24 hours a day or in energy storage, effectively making it available 24 hours a day.
Wealth through a head start
By investing in other forms of energy production now we can be independent of unreliable suppliers in the future and we also create new sources of prosperity.
Why the US refused to sign the Kyoto Protocol
The US does not participate in the Kyoto Protocol because of its flaws and that is an important reason to improve the Protocol, not to abolish it.
What needs to be improved in the Kyoto Protocol
The six flaws of the Kyoto Protocol are the cause that it does not have any effect. They need to be solved during the Copenhagen Climate Conference in 2009.
The peculiarities of the Annex-1 nations list of the Kyoto Protocol
De emission agreements for the Annex-1 nations are illogical and indicate that other considerations than CO₂ emissions have led to the agreed quantities.
The forgotten population growth
In the Kyoto Protocol, population growth has not been taken into account. As a consequence of this forgotten item, differences in limitations as a consequence of the differences in population growth have not been taken into account.
“The ten consequences” of the six flaws in the Kyoto Protocol
These ten consequences of the six flaws in the Kyoto Protocol have resulted in an annual increase in CO₂ emissions since the Protocol was ratified in 1997. The growth of CO₂ emissions is proof of Kyoto’s failure. This becomes visible in the graphics of the Mauna Loa CO₂ Observatory in the book.
The Copenhagen Protocol in 2009
The objective of the Copenhagen Climate Conference in 2009 should be a 100% filtering and cleaning of CO₂ pollution.
The objective of mankind
Mankind can solve CO₂ pollution through photosynthesis. This is the instrument to unbind CO₂ molecules and bind them into other manifestations in which the ”C” atom is bound in wood and the “O” atom in oxygen. These are the Gifts from Heaven.
The enormous purification power of the tree
Trees are the only currently available serious solution to unbind CO₂ on a large scale.
CO₂ emission figures, facts and space to solve it
Earth has enough space for the Treesolution and mankind has enough money to implement it.
Trees grow everywhere
Trees grow everywhere as long as there is capillary.
Why we solve the problem in 40 years and not tomorrow
Three years after its introduction, the Treesolution will have a larger net positive effect on CO₂ pollution than the present – dysfunctional – measurements of the Kyoto Protocol.
The organization of the Treesolution
Founding of the “From CO₂ Nature” Institute, taxing the source of fossil fuel production and organizing a market place where parties are allowed to offer tree planting projects, allows us to attack the CO₂ pollution problem practically and quickly.
The practical result of the Treesolution
It is easy to calculate the annual levy that should take place at the source of pollution: the total of the registered tenders increased by the costs of organization.
The figures of the Treesolution
Investment in the Treesolution is affordable.
The influence of the Treesolution
The Treesolution solves the ten consequences of the six flaws of the Kyoto Protocol.
Criticism of the Treesolution
There is criticism of the Treesolution, but the arguments are partly invalid while the remaining objections can be resolved.
The advantages of the Treesolution
The Treesolution has numerous positive side effects and it is therefore the only solution that generates money instead of costing money.
Those who calculate, plant trees
Every person having a long term vision plants trees as they will prove to be a good investment. Trees can serve as a collateral for the financial system.
Conclusions about the Treesolution
The instruments to solve the CO₂ pollution problem are available. Whether we solve it depends exclusively on our uncompromising will to do so.
The cynics are wrong
There might be cynics who do not believe in worldwide cooperation, but examples such as the first climate Treaty of Montreal concerning the ozon damage that was organized within a time frame of only 20 years, show that we are already capable of cooperating globally. We can be sure that it is possible to realize cooperation when we need to combat a universal threat.
Let’s not create newslavery
The Treesolution should not harm the populations of the places where we plant. Instead, it must present an opportunity for global development.
Our problem is their chance
The Treesolution can help end poverty.
Support the “Trees for CO₂” plan
The Treesolution changes the CO₂ disadvantage into a CO₂ advantage.
The worldwide food crisis
Over the long term, planting trees will lead to increased food production.
Land reform
A new vision and strategy on the property of land may lead to more wealth.
What you can do for the Earth
The CO₂ problem can be eliminated in two ways: 1) by annually emitting less by means of efficiency measurements and alternative energy and 2) by unbinding the rest of the CO₂ pollution for 100% with the Treesolution. Everybody can support this.
Developing countries get unique opportunities
Developing countries do not have an advantage from the present Kyoto Protocol. By cooperating to reach the Trees for CO₂ agreement during the Copenhagen Climate Conference in 2009 their wealth will grow considerably.
From “CO₂ expert” to “CO₂ resolver”
The author asks for support from CO₂ experts.
Plea to governments
The author asks governments to demonstrate their will to solve the CO₂ problem.
Final words to the reader
The author thanks and urges the reader to support politicians who will use the Treesolution to solve the CO₂ problem.
