Climate Change

Something that has been on my mind lately. After years of speculation and scientific study, we finally agree that global warming is man made. Why has it taken so long? Back in the 80s the discovery of CFCs that burned a hole in the Ozone led to worldwide changes in the production and thankfully the Ozone is on the way to recover. However, why can't we all agree to do something now about the rise in co2?

Did you know that the California forest fires created 8 million tonnes of Co2 in 5 days? This is the number one element that is driving global temperatures out of control. Caps on emissions is not good enough, nor are voluntary reductions. Governments and large corporations can make a difference on an international scale to make people reduce their co2 through changes in technologies and habits.

However, we, the inhabitants are also responsible, and shouldn't leave it to the governments to sort out. Domestic use of electricity is not well managed. Leaving lights on, computers, gadgets etc. All these activities are putting more co2 in the atmosphere. Small changes can significantly reduce our 'carbon footprint'

Have a look at the links below, this will give you some idea of the waste that is taking place and what can be done to reduce it:
