The Climate Change Club. This is a Lens for people that have something to say about all aspects of the subject known as Climate Change. Join the Lens, use the talk back area, and add your Lens to the Climate Change Lens area. The News Feeds are updated often so came back soon and see how we are developing.

Re-organising my Climate Change website at Perob is taking a lot of time. If you have time, take a look, pass comments and see how the voting is going on. Climate Change is really happening, and there a thousand untold stories how it is effecting normal everyday people. Join the great debate, do something positive today for future generations. You can add your group or Lens only if it is about Climate Change and Global Warming, this is not the place just to sell products. If you have never made anything on Squidoo, there is a help file below to get you started.

As a Squidoo Lensmaster you can join the Group on LinkedIn

Welcome to the Climate Change Club

Call it what you want, climate change, global warming, pollution, the effect of greenhouse gases, air pollution, environmental damage, it all adds up to the same thing. The planet is facing a crises that the human population has created. Most of it since the year 1800.

The Kyoto Agreement or Protocol, was the first real effort by the world community to face upto the problems of Climate Change. It took strong positive political will to sign the Kyoto Protocol, thank goodness the Australian Prime Minister did that soon after taking office. Shame that his opposition leader has lost his job for supporting climate change reform.

Let's hope that President Obama and the Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao, can agree far reaching Climate Change targets. With these countries leading the way, the rest will follow, and save the planet from self destruction.

Can you help me?, I need somebody to see my video

I often wonder if it makes sense to try to help future generations from the wasteful and polluting lifestyle many of us live. So in a mad moment I created this small YouTube video. It would be nice to hear what YOU think.

Why the American people are so important

Everybody knows that America consumes vast amounts of energy to achieve a wonderful life style. Consumption of this energy, most of which is fossil fuel based, cannot carry on at the present rate of consumption. Oil is going to run out over the next 10 years and probably reach $250 a barrel or more, great if you are an oil company or oil trader, but hard on everybody else. Lets face it, it is all about making as much money now and as fast as possible.

Coal is the worst polluter of all, but more power stations burning this fossil fuel are being built around the world. Build coal fired power stations, but only if there are no CO2 emissions. Hard, but not impossible.

None of the current polluters will change until forced to by public opinion, laws, or lack of resources. Why should they, they can make all the money they want, without spending anything on the future. Great for the share holders.

The world needs America and the American people to be world leaders in conservation, environmentally friendly industries, reduce carbon emissions and set a good example for the world to follow. That is impossible at the moment as everything is drive by growth and big business.


China is the largest polluter, with about 1,300 million people, but America produces nearly 6 times as much pollution per person. Good job China does not have the same lifestyle as the American people. Both these countries plus India are key to binding agreements in Copenhagen.

Lets hope the US President is strong enough to sign a new agreement and set an example to the world.

Continued Growth is not possible.

We are told every year that the economy will grow by 3% or some other figure. Did you know this cannot continue year after year? Here are some calculations which are taken from an article in the English Guardian newspaper by George Monbiot,

1. Economists are predicting an average of 3% growth this century.

2. Every 23 years the economic activity will double.

3. So by the year 2100, global consumption will have reached 1,600%

4. By 2115 the total rises to 3,200%

5. This level of growth is not possible, even if you disagree with figures.

The question you should ask yourself, where are all the resources to meet this growth? Even if there was unlimited oil and gas supplies, the consumption would pollute the climate so much, we would all die of lack of oxygen.

What kind world of world would you like to see in 2050? It is said that 70% of the people alive today, will be around on that date. So it is also very important for you personally. The Climate is not like a car trip, you cannot turn round and go back, if you don't like what you see. The future is a one way journey

The video from President Obama

It's not propaganda

So what if you are a skeptic, if your right, we carry on as before. If you wrong, it will be too late to change your mind. You will never be able to say you were not warned in time. Future generations may remember your name for the wrong reasons.
