With regard to Laura Snooks article regarding our world in flux, I have never read an article written by someone so deceived as Laura obviously is. She claims the flux in our planet is down to Man. What an incredulous and incompetant thing to say! Yes, Earth is undergoing global warming. However, so is Mars, Venus, Mercury, etc etc because global warming is triggered in all planets in our Solar System at the same time by the Sun. Is Laura going to tell me that Man is causing global warming throughout the entire Solar System? If she did shes an idiot.
Also, during the middle ages there was a period of global warming which was at least 5 degrees (Cel) hotter then it is now, even Greenland was predominantly green. The ice melted during that period too. No Laura, it wasnt caused by cars (she isn't too bright our Laura) but by a natural cycle which occurs every few hundred years. So Laura, before you open your mouth, do some research so you know what your talking about. Even a fool is thought wise if they say nothing, perhaps you should consider doing the same honey!

All the things the blog recommends, such as insulating your house, turn lights off tc, buy uk produce, recycle. I do those things already, i also gave up my car and as such my carbon footprint is about 35% below the national average, however what is the point of me doing this if the morons down the road are driving 4x4's on the school run and supermarket trips, going on long distance holidays twice a year, taking weekend trips in their 4x4's, I would guess that their carbon footprint is probably at least 50% above the national average, so whats the point? Why should I make the effort when these selfish morons simply dont care. when I've reduced my footbprint by -35% will not even compensate for their +50% footprint.
ok i am only 14 and even i know all about climate change ,the thing is that climate change happend with the ice age centuries ago and there were hardly any people back then but then again i think everyone should do their bit towards trying to stop it.Climate change could get worse,i would love to become a vet when i am older but i could miss out because animals are becoming exticnt ,if we do not do anything about the number of trees being cut down and forest's being destroyed then we will all face a big shock,dont do it for yourself,do it for the future generation...Your Children!
The IPCC report categorically stated that the Climate Change we are witnessing is due to increased levels of man made Co 2 in the atmosphere, up to 380 parts per million from a pre-industrialised 280ppm. The report was consulted upon by the world's leading scientists, and while you may argue the data analysis, the fact that increased C02 is a driver in the global warming mechanism surely is now beyond doubt, whether or not it has lag behind previous temperature spikes or not.
Higher levels of Co 2 in the upper atmosphere traps more of the heat that is radiated back into space, causing the planet to warm.
