The paradox the Chairman of the Environmental Commission faces is that he has absolute power, which must be used to create conditions in which that power will be taken from him.
He and the Commission know that people will forget the sacrifices the Cleansing demanded, and next time, the planet may not be as lucky; but the Commission can make sure it doesn't happen again. They simply must make sure the crisis never ends.
Orders are given in secret.
An artificial intelligence sees its contradictory orders and thinks: "Hey, wait a minute."
And the Federal Republic of Earth is born.

Phew. 100 words exactly.
So whaddaya think?
