WE, the people, hereby declare that:

Since it is possible to make policy that is in alignment with scientific insight,

Are urging elected officials to step towards a world that first and foremost uses scientific knowledge and the scientific method as a baseline for policy,

And have to begin with implementing policy, such as

Policy on cutting emissions by half in twenty years, as one example a limit on CO2 emissions for new natural gas power plants – 80kg/MWh – and give electricity producers 10 years to develop and deploy carbon capture technology to meet the standard, with tax credit incentives for early adoption, as proposed by Stanford Graduate School of Business accounting [1]

And other specific policies that ensure the reduction of emissions by half,

Knowing that such policies, are as of writing technically feasbile, but aren't implemented because of the costs – 10 to 20% of the total US economy, [2]

Yet to ensure the ecological stability of the world, such policy is necessary to implement,

And to follow more scientific insight in that regard and to treat it highly, like has been said
