Are climate change predictions wrong?
Last week the media was awash with stories about climate predictions being wrong and we are in a far worse position than previously thought. This is thought to be due to countries such as India and China having exceeded predictions of how their economies and industry were growing. Some climate change models predict that 35% more CO2 has been emitted. Best get reducing our footprints!
The International Panel on Climate Change is the United Nations body dedicated to looking at climate change and the impact of global warming. They have predicted that temperatures may increase by an incredible 6.4C over the next century! Trouble indeed. This does sound incredibly bleak but there are some out there who think that the stats are wrong. Apparently it depends on which model of climate change you use and which variables you take into account. If anyone could explain these to Ethical and Green we would be most grateful!
I read a post on one blog suggesting that climate change is a mere fairytale invented by world powers to extort more money from us and scare us into submission on certain policies……Anyone care to comment……
Us here at Ethical and Green feel that despite the stats we have an obligation to look after our planet and do the best we can to ensure that future generations have something to inherit.
