Cutting down of Co2 Emissions

Well we've reached the point in this series of blogs where we're discussing climate change and as I mentioned before, the world will most likely end if we don't change our ways drastically, and soon. Scientists have already proven that co2 emissions emitted by automobiles, factories and even human flatulance are to blame for the polar ice caps melting. So what do we aim to do about it??

Well just open the door and have a look as there are thousands of campaigns currently at work trying to do their bit, most of them shoving their pickett signs in your face, but who are really getting down to work? Well there are the major ones, being Greenpeace, WWF who are extremely affected by climate change and Campaign Against Climate Change who people actually respect. Greenpeace are constantly in the middle of campaining and have men and women often locked up for their protests, this being a prospect that is not new to them.

In Britain, someone who you's may recognise has been argueably influential in getting people to be more environmentaly friendly has been David Cameron, leader of the Conservative Party. After acting like a prick and demonstrating how he rides his bike he soon ended up getting clocked cycling through a red light and going the wrong way down a one-way road! Yeah thanks for the lesson you moron!

But over the course of this past year much campaigning has been done on his behalf as he sees it as being of the upmost importance. These have included fact-finding visits to Norway. with the WWF (okay not really a campaign). Also, because of Cameron's appeal and the fact that he genuinely is a good speaker has broadened the message of Global Warming to more people over the past 12 months and the word has spread like a drug, that some still refuse to inhale.

When it was announced several months ago that Heathrow would be extending their runway it was met with extreme discontent, not from WWF, or David Cameron (immediately) but this woman...

Yes Emma Thompson was red in the face, absolutely furious at the news. This though has just sybolised how far the message has come and that even rich people can know the difference between what's right and wrong.

Looking back this hasn't been a good year year for Global Warming, but it's been better than last year and let's hope next year's is even better.

Cheers
