There are many areas of concern relating to the current environmental crisis for which we are providing some brief simplified notes. Please refer to the relevant sub page. If we have not covered your concern please contact us so that we can consider adding an item to cover that issue.
An impression is frequently given that we do not need to do anything or that by moving to electric cars and heat pumps we solve the environmental crisis. These pages show why we must do something and why we need to take action now. See our pages on what can I do for inspiration on making a start. We all need to make changes, in the most part these changes should improve quality of life. However these changes also threaten the income stream of the richest and most powerful in our society, many of whom are using their power to prevent the changes they do not want.
Predictions based on current behaviour indicate that weather extremes will increase, food security will worsen, tropical diseases will spread, many areas will become uninhabitable causing wars and or mass migration. Sea level will rise and flooding become more likely even inland. Bio-diversity will worsen still more and if no action is taken the worse case scenario is a distinct possibility. (Planet warming becoming unstoppable by human intervention leading to extinction of the human race.) We can act, the sooner we act the better the outcome, and the easier it will be.
