Inaction is Inexcusable

For anyone out there who still denies that the burning of fossil fuels is causing the earth to warm in dangerous ways, the meeting of scientific minds that took place in Copenhagen this week should convince them of the harsh reality.

The scientists at the Climate Crisis congress laid out recent observations confirming that the worst-case scenario trajectories (or even worse) are being realized and the climate is moving way beyond the natural patterns of variability in which we have thrived for so long. What’s more, recent observations have shown that societies are highly vulnerable to even slight levels of climate change, with poor nations at particular risk.

One of the key messages from the event is that inaction is inexcusable. Sure, governments everywhere need to step up, but don’t we all? Things are dire: We should each and everyone of us be doing our part to help stop global warming. Find out easy ways you can live a greener lifestyle at UK Aware this April 17-18 in central London.
