Climate Change will cost trillions!
Quote:
Climate change could shrink the global economy by a fifth at a cost of up to £3.68 trillion unless drastic action is taken; a government-sponsored review is to warn.
Reference: Climate change ‘brings huge cost’Â
All over the press today, there is a great deal of talk about pollution levels and how if we continue along our current path we are destined for worldwide disaster. A government commissioned report claims that up to 200 million people could be left homeless refugees from floods and abnormal weather.
Personally, this comes as no shocker. I’m pretty sure much of the civilised world is just as aware, but we all seem to skirt the issue or ignore it.
The government must be aware of the risks we are facing and even though China and the U.S.A. are the biggest pollution offenders, aren’t ALL of us responsible? Every last action we take plays a part, TV’s on standby, cookers left on for years using mains electricity, driving kids a mile down the road in a Chelsea tractor.
Begs the question which is the reason for this website, why aren’t the government improving public transport to help reduce pollution?
