As alarm grows about the possible early extinction of human life, along comes a clearly practical plan to stop the downward spiral, permanently, and reverse our trajectory. Any realistic rescue plan must include the global politics of how we are to survive and thrive in the near and far distant future, no matter what powerful or dangerous new technologies may emerge. In Rescue Plan for Planet Earth: Democratic World Government through a Global Referendum, Jim Stark details exactly how we can conduct a global referendum and achieve a democratic world parliament in as little as a decade. He argues cogently that a mandate from a successful global referendum must be accepted as legally binding under international law, but even if it weren’t accepted as such, if the whole human race votes for something, such an unprecedented act of people-power should prevail. Finally, and importantly, Stark also provides us with the means to keep the new global parliament forever free of corruption.
