Ten Years To Save The Globe?

Interesting…

A NEW worldwide movement backed by celebrities, musicians, politicians and business leaders is aiming to reverse the effects of global warming over the next decade.

Global Cool launched in London and LA today and is calling on one billion people to reduce their carbon emissions by just one tonne a year, for the next 10 years.

Boffins have found the climatic tipping point - when the climate becomes irreversibly damaged - can be turned back if global CO2 emissions are reduced by one billion tonnes a year.

Campaigners then hope cleaner, renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, water and hydrogen would have been developed.

So we’ve all got to reduce our emissions, eh?  How about we start with all the celebrities, musicians, politicians and business leaders backing this “worldwide movement” giving up their private jets, limos and multiple homes?

Somehow I don’t think that particular idea would go over so well with those folks.  They firmly believe that sacrifices need to be made.  They just expect we plebes to make them.
