There are still doubters about this warming trend. Some just deny it is happening, and there is no need for any action. Others say that it has all happened before. Well maybe it has, but not when there has been a world population of the size it is now, all relying on an ever decreasing amount of water, as well as energy produced by polluting power stations. And then there are those who are all excited about finding the cause of the change in conditions. To me, whilst it seems important to find out why, our ignorance of the causes should not be used as an excuse for our inaction. In fact one of the possible causes of this trend has been identified. Maybe we can help the situation to get no worse if we try, without any great hardship, to limit the use of energy obtained from coal. It is a modest enough proposition, but we seem to be finding very hard to agree to.
Will the Kyoto Agreement help--or is it all too little too late?
