Recently I came to know that The Kerala Government is distributing CFL lamps to the public free of cost in lieu of 60W incandescent bulbs surrendered and that this will earn carbon credits to the government agency. Any reduction achieved in emission of carbon due to energy conservation measures could earn carbon credits.
I have this thought that population and development is mainly responsible for emissions, if we go into the fundamentals. It is because a human being is born and he consumes world resources for nearly a century, that the world gets polluted. The birth of humans must be controlled, not through coarsion, but by providing incentives to those who produce no child.
Most persons do not produce children deliberately for bringing up a home. Many in the conservative society cannot get opportunities for sex without getting into marriage. Besides, their social security like being taken care of in the old age is also attached to marriage and kids. This leads them to marriage and eventually results in population increase.
My proposal is to discourage people from getting married for sex and social security. Only if a person really needs a family life with kids and is capable of bringing up kids should enter into marriage and home making.
Provide opportunities for sex amply through liberalising of social regulations and also provide social security to individuals by government providing support for the old citizens until their death. I clearly mean that individuals should get opportunity for living in the society enjoying romance and love and sex and feels safe being taken care of during illness. This will drive away a lot of people from producing children. The population reduction thus achieved goes a long way in emission control.
Carbon credits must be given to those individuals who choose not to marry and produced children. The amount will be sufficient to provide him a comfortable living and security in life.
The amount a person receive will be huge because if the value of carbon produced as a result of consumption by an individual would be huge. Assuming that a person produce 2 kids and after 20-25 years they produce still more like a chain reaction, the amount of fuel that is burned to support these individuals is huge.
A person without child, undergoing vasectomy and tubectomy must get carbon credits. International community must step in to dissuade individuals from producing more kids. By providing incentives to bachelors and spinsters this can be achieved. The main incentive is to compensate to them all the benefits they receive through marriage if they dont get married.
