Climate Change Commission

About 2 days ago, my wife Cheva has shared to me her idea about the creation of an independent body which will address climate change and the disasters that it creates. This will be some kind of a commission which shall be headed by a chairman with fixed term. The chairman and members shall be disqualified to seek any elective or appointive office for a certain period after the term of office. It shall develop and implement a comprehensive plan to address the effects of climate change. In addition, it may serve as the body which will coordinate disaster preparedness, emergency response and rehabilitation coordination. The commission may raise it's own resources and will have fiscal autonomy. My wife has developed a proposed structure and mechanics which I understand she will propose to Congress.
