= more greenhouse pollution

and a hotter planet.

Right now, we have much more Carbon Dioxide than humans have ever known. Modern humans evolve

So what does all this mean for our future?

Weather gone weird

Our future climate is our choice

First step – Calculate your impact

Reduce your impact

Individual action AND Political Action

What sort of laws? Emission Trading Schemes: putting a price on emitting greenhouse gases Renewable Energy Targets Building Public Transport Regulations for coal stations Protecting forests from deforestation

Even bigger laws… Kyoto Protocol … The New Kyoto Protocol

So, what can you do? Write a message saying… What you care about… Examples: my future, rivers, coral reefs, climate refugees, family and friends, polar bears What you want the Government to do… Examples:Lead in climate negotiations Make huge reductions in greenhouse gas emissions Stop cutting down forests Help developing countries adapt Make more renewable energy and public transport Include your name, age and post code

If you want to do more…
