Climate Change Act 2008
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.
Change 1
2 Amendment of 2050 target or baseline year
(1) The Secretary of State may by order— (a) amend the percentage specified in section 1(1); (b) amend section 1 to provide for a different year to be the baseline year. (2) The power in subsection (1)(a) may only be exercised— (a) if it appears to the Secretary of State that there have been significant developments in— (i) scientific knowledge about climate change, or (ii) European or international law or policy, that make it appropriate to do so, or (b) in connection with the making of— (i) an order under section 24 (designation of further greenhouse gases as targeted greenhouse gases), or (ii) regulations under section 30 (emissions from international aviation or international shipping). (3) The developments in scientific knowledge referred to in subsection (2) are— (a) in relation to the first exercise of the power in subsection (1)(a), developments since the passing of this Act; (b) in relation to a subsequent exercise of that power, developments since the evidential basis for the previous exercise was established. (4) The power in subsection (1)(b) may only be exercised if it appears to the Secretary of State that there have been significant developments in European or international law or policy that make it appropriate to do so. (5) An order under subsection (1)(b) may make consequential amendments of other references in this Act to the baseline year. (6) An order under this section is subject to affirmative resolution procedure.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
