While politicians continue from the whole political spectrum continue to quarrel, I started to reflect about what can be done by myself (and hopefully also others) on a short term, with substantial impact. More about that later: calculations are ongoing.

In my opinion, politicians should probably take the following initiatives: (i) collaborate on the climate topic rather than quarrel about it; (ii) establish national and local climate workforces, focusing on data collection, on modelling and simulation, and on implementation of actions; (iii) involve all of us by requesting proposals for individual actions. The third initiative should be enforced by asking individuals to publicly post proof of adherence to their own proposals.
