"Promoting education on the problem of Global Warming and Climate Change in order to encourage lifestyle changes and practical actions that will help to mitigate the problem"

It is now clear to all of us that significant Climate Change is taking place across the world, killing millions of people and progressively destroying our economies.

It is also clear that the government's target of 60% reductions in CO2 by 2050 means very little in the context of world concentrations and that scientists are now telling us very clearly that we need to reduce our carbon dioxide emissions by 100% by 2030, framed within the context of a fair, scientific international agreement. We need to do this in an attempt to stabilise carbon dioxide emissions at 350 parts per million (ppm) in order to avoid a 2 degree increase in average temperature, (see www.350.org )which is predicted to trigger unstoppable, chain-reaction climate change, caused by the planet's own feedback mechanisms.

We hope that this website will provide some background information on the things we all need to do, with the emphasis being on supporting the Contraction & Convergence International rationing framework as an absolute priority.

Contraction & Convergence (C&C)

You may well have never heard of it, if not, watch this video of our Chairman,

John Riley, explaining the principle of the proposal.

Or CLICK HERE for a written explanation. The Global Commons Institute site will give

you much more detailed information & and presentation material to help you

explain it to others. Click on this link www.gci.org.uk.

Stop Flying NOW

This could reduce the average person's emissions by 20% to 30% per year

Most people now know that flying is one of the most polluting forms of travel, so if you have children in your family but still continue to fly, consider whether or not you could leave this letter for them, along with your will.

Go Carbon Neutral!
