Scientists say we need to cut our emissions by 80% by 2050 just to keep climate change within two degrees centigrade of current world temperatures.
I wish the elected government that we have in this country would grow a backbone and make a conscious decision to do more for the green side of everything.
Energy efficiency is beneficial as people save money on bills. We need to wean ourselves off fossil fuels as the supplies will run out in 50-100 years time according to Government sources.
I think we should build the wind farms and solar fields and ignore all the protesters. People might not like the look of them but if the country and world’s weather keeps changing there will not be fields or nature reserves or nice skyline to look at anyway. We all have to do what we can and more. To do a little is not enough.
In reality, is it far too late for us to correct the flaw? We will have to wait and see.
