Action Plan to deal with global warming and climate change

Goals:
1. Tackle CO₂  (cut CO₂ emissions and remove CO₂ from atmosphere and oceans) ^{(policies B,C,D)} 
2.1. Reduce emissions of chemical gases such as HFC, PFC, SF_6,, halon, CFC and HCFC ^{(policy A)}
2.2. Reduce emissions of pollutant such as CH₄, N²O, BC, CO, NO_x and VOC ^{(policies B,C,E)}

2.3. Geoengineering, ^{(policy D)} 

3. Adaptation (preparation, preservation, plantation, energy saving, etc)  

This can be best achieved through the following policies:

A.		Protocols (Kyoto, Montreal, etc), standards, and regulations calling for deposits (refunded at collection) on products containing inorganic pollutants
B.		Fees on nitrogen fertilizers and livestock products to fund local application of biochar and olivine sand
C.		Fees on burning fuel (where burned) to fund clean local alternatives (incl. EVs, solar cookers, WWS energy)
D.		Geoengineering (such as adding lime to seawater and aerosols to the atmosphere, carbon air capture, using UV light to stimulate methane oxidation, cloud brightening, etc; for more see the geoengineering group)
E.		Organic waste handling standards (e.g. the UNEP-proposed ban of open field burning of agricultural waste)
