Climate Change in 2009

04/02/2009 by Stew.

The Global recession is bound to be the headline of 2009, and in many ways it is justly deserved. The world is changing. Major businesses have collapsed and workers in every sector are feeling the pinch around the world. But it is not the most serious problem the world is facing. Climate change is a global problem. It requires nothing less than a united global response to solve it. But much like solving the credit crunch, not everyone can agree on the causes or effects on climate change. Despite evidence of an acceleration in the rise of global temperatures since the start of the fossil fuel burning industrial age, many scientists insist on making various counter claims on climate change. Some claim we are nearing the end of a cycle which will soon result in a new ice age, where as others dispute that fossil fuels have made any effect to global temperatures at all. But one thing we can be certain of is this. The world is changing, and we need to act now. Investing in clean and renewable energy should be top priority for the worlds economy, creating new jobs, and ensuring a sustainable future, that no longer depends on ever diminishing fossil fuels. Its time to act, before our climate changes beyond repair.
