E is for Energy

We have reached a point in the climate change model where action must be swift and rigorous. Each and every nation must act now to reduce CO2 emissions. In the United Kingdom we have our part to play. Here in the UK we have set targets to reduce CO2 emissions. Unfortunately the people who want this change and the companies who control the means to bring about change are not working together. Unfortunately the current government of the UK is not helping either. The UK has reduced its carbon emissions some but not nearly enough. We can reduce our carbon foot print and reach and exceed our reduction goals if we work together and use the technology available today.

There is no longer a debate about weather our climate is changing. This debate, which raged for over 25 years, has now ended. Our planet is getting warmer at a rate which is damaging the climate and our (humankind’s) ability to exist. The majority of scientists agree that this accelerated warming is being caused by the CO2 created by burning fossil fuels. The consensus, among major leaders (and their scientific advisers) around the planet, is that we have to reduce our carbon emissions or we will create a runaway cycle of increasing heat that will ultimately destroy all life on earth. The sad truth is that we waited too long to act!
