‘Forget about making poverty history ‘Forget about making poverty history. Climate change will make poverty history.’ Nazmul Chowbury from Practical Action

And God saw everything that he had made, and behold it was very good. Genesis 1:31

On average each person in UK causes the emission of 10 tonnes of CO2 each year. This is like 5 hot air balloons per person per year. In the developing world, the average is under 1 balloon per person. Is this fair?

One recycled bottle saves enough energy to power a washing machine for 10 minutes or a light bulb for 1 hour.

If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.“ Lao Tzu (604-531 BC) Chinese Artist and Taoist philosopher

‘And now we face a crisis with unprecedented danger that also presents an opportunity like no other.’ Al Gore, former US vice-president

A wind farm the size of Scroby Sands can supply twice domestic demand of Norwich

"Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he thought he could do only a little." Edmund Burke (1727 – 1797)

Crop yields in sub-Sahara are predicted to fall by 20% Warmer and wetter weather will increase the range and prevalence of diseases.185 million people in sub-Sahara alone could die as a direct result. Crop yields in sub-Sahara are predicted to fall by 20%

There are so many ways we can reduce our carbon footprint but most will involve sacrifice.

The five warmest years on record are: 2005, 1998, 2002, 2003, 2004

By him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible. Colossians 1: 16-20

Despite having only 15% of the world’s population, rich countries emit 50% of the world’s CO2.

We are more than stewards of creation, we are part of that creation ourselves.

The average UK citizen releases the same amount of carbon dioxide in 2 The average UK citizen releases the same amount of carbon dioxide in 2.5 days as a Malawian does in a year.

God showed his love by sending his son not only to save us but the entire world.

A rise in global temperature could lead to up to 300 million more people suffering from costal flooding each year as sea levels rise.

Climate Change is a justice issue Climate Change is a justice issue. We need to act NOW to make a difference.
