OK, Golgothastan makes some good points and I wish he could have consulted when this resolution was in its infancy because it has loopholes. Many other nations on the UN forum agree.
Ceo, you're right too in that the percentages are arbitrary, but my response to that is in this case, + or - a couple of percent is not as important as accomplishing progress. Also, businesses either individually or through the manufacture of consumer product are chiefly responsible for CFC use so that would seem to be effective.
I wish the nation proposing this resolution had visited our forum first because we (or many other nations/regions) could have helped make this one stronger. My solution and proposal to you all is this: Vote for this one, and then WE can conceptualize a follow up resolution that closes the loopholes and together can make them stronger.
Maybe this is an opportunity to do some of the resolution building that I've discussed in the Green Union thread by involving other regions. It IS an environmental resolution. Thoughts?
One last thing, I can't be the first person to raise this question, but has anyone at NS ever given thought to superceding resolutions? That way, a resolution wouldn't have to be repealed but merely replaced with a stornger/better one.
