Let’s face it, the world is warming at an unprecedented rate. You may remember balmy summer days and a smattering of snow at Christmas.  This has changed in the last few years to extreme summer temperatures and mild but stormy winters.  Over geological time the climate has always changed, whether due to massive volcanoes, large meteors hitting the earth, the ice ages, or variations in the activity of the sun. These are all natural events but due to the impact of humans on our planet, we are causing a rapid rise in global temperatures to the extent that we keep breaking records every year.  The majority of scientists agree that these temperature rises are directly caused by the burning of fossil fuels causing a “greenhouse effect” in our atmosphere.  Not only is the planet getting hotter but it is also becoming more polluted – just look at the sewage and phosphates in our rivers, lakes and beaches, and see how much plastic is ending up in the food chain.  If we want those born in the 21st century to enjoy the same lifestyle as those born in the 20th century then we must all act now to stop any further damage to our precious planet.
