IF THESE CHANGES ARE REALLY HAPPENING WHAT CAN WE DO?
I have part of the answer. Keep visiting and you will find out a really easy, painless way to save energy.

Are Climate Change and Global Warming the same or different? Well now, Climate Change
is a known fact. Earth’s climate has never stayed the same. The term ‘Global Warming’
is a media-invented term that just describes what seems to be happening at the moment.
So, what is really happening? Are Climate Change and Global Warming the same or
different? Now, Climate Change is a known fact. Earth’s climate has never stayed
the same. The term ‘Global Warming’ is a media-invented term that just describes what
seems to be happening at the moment.
So, what is really happening? From Victorian times onwards we have burned coal and
later oil to give us their stored energy and power. The attitude was – smoke and
exhaust gets blown away. As long as it doesn’t affect us directly we haven’t worried
- well some of us haven’t. Trouble has been that all our pollution headed for the Poles.
Think of the Earth’s rotation as a spin dryer flinging water (but here pollutants)
down the plug hole. Unfortunately there aren’t plugs at the North and South Poles,
so the pollution stays in the atmosphere as smog. I know this I have seen it myself.
The upper atmosphere shields the Earth from harmful rays from outer space. At this
great height the oxygen isn’t like the oxygen we breathe, this is two oxygen atoms
‘tied’ together. The ozone that protects us in the upper atmosphere is very reactive.
Ozone reacts with pollutants to form that photochemical smog . All sorts of things
react with ozone in the atmosphere. Gas from aerosols, exhaust fumes from motor
vehicles, smoke from coal burning, refrigerant from fridges and freezers.
Carbon dioxide is a waste product of many life processes and industry. This too tries
to escape, but gets trapped by the Greenhouse Effect. A well known and even worse problemis the methane produced by those notorious farting cows. Methane is a
product of their digestion and this methane forms an even better blanket than carbon dioxide around the Earth.
Add all these facts together and you contribute to Climate Change with the
temperature of the Earth rising overall at the moment. Why should this matter?
Surely if our environment was warmer , we could save on heating bills?
