I guess you should stop being scared and start doing something about it in your own little way. . .

In the ideal world, that would be the right thing to do, but apparently, we live in the real world.
Do you know all the recycling and energy saving done by the UK population is not enough to reduce the emissions?
The average UK resident is more energy-concsious than ever before
We use public transport more, recycle more, but what of the airplanes, the proposed new terminal?


As at now, all you need to do is use only one car for your family
Use things till they're no more usable

Naija uses hydro-electric power, the most renewable source of energy
But we fall short in many other areas

On Feb. 2, 2007, the United Nations scientific panel studying climate change declared that the evidence of a warming trend is "unequivocal," and that human activity has "very likely" been the driving force in that change over the last 50 years. The last report by the group, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, in 2001, had found that humanity had "likely" played a role.

The addition of that single word "very" did more than reflect mounting scientific evidence that the release of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases from smokestacks, tailpipes and burning forests has played a central role in raising the average surface temperature of the earth by more than 1 degree Fahrenheit since 1900. It also added new momentum to a debate that now seems centered less over whether humans are warming the planet, but instead over what to do about it. In recent months, business groups have banded together to make unprecedented calls for federal regulation of greenhouse gases. The subject had a red-carpet moment when former Vice President Al Gore's documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth," was awarded an Oscar; and the Supreme Court made its first global warming-related decision, ruling 5 to 4 that the Environmental Protection Agency had not justified its position that it was not authorized to regulate carbon dioxide.
