Dr. Hugh Montgomery, the director of the Institute for Human Health and
Performance at the University College London said,
"There is no greater threat to human health than climate change. For those
of us working as doctors, its imminent threat dwarfs any survival gains due
to our daily health care activity."

The former chief executive of BP, Lord Browne of Madingley has called for
the creation of an international climate agency with power to force national
governments to tackle carbon emissions. at the recent European Business
School in London, "As a global first mover on climate change targets, the EU
has the credibility to be a leader in international negotiations... this is
critical. I believe addressing climate change will be impossible without a
new international climate change agency: an organisation with the power to
lay down and enforce terms on national governments".

70% of the people alive today, will be alive in 2050. What you do today,
will effect you in the next few years. Or are we like smokers, we know it
will almost certainly kill us in a most unpleasant way, but we enjoy
it so much, we cannot stop. Same as using fossil fuels, we just cannot
control our dependence. Maybe it's the same as the tobacco industry, too
many lobbyists and vested interests. Ask your elected representative where
they stand on controlling CO2 emissions and reducing oil/coal consumption,
you may be surprise and disappointed with their reply.
Smoking has been banned in restaurants and public
places in many countries, but it took governments to make laws, and enforce
them. We need global laws to stop pollution from changing our climate. This
should be a top priority for the United Nations and all it's members. No
veto's allowed.
I will be adding a list of addresses and emails soon, so you can contact the
UN and your local governments to demand action. More Climate Change
information will be added here shortly.
