Did
you know that Britain’s climate is changing because of pollution? Burning fossil fuels like coal, gas and oil is helping to increase the levels of gasses such as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. More of the sun’s
heat is being trapped warming the planet in a process known
as global warming. Our climate is changing and foreign animals
and plants from warmer climates are likely to arrive.
This is a potential problem – diseases such as malaria could
return carried by mosquitoes, the climate could become more
unpredictable with more frequent fierce and destructive storms,
whilst melting ice caps will cause coastal areas to flood
displacing millions of people.
Unlike many problems you can help to prevent this catastrophe just by making simple lifestyle choices.
Get active, get involved.
