Global climate change is one of the most important issues of
the 21st Century. Getting the right message delivered in the
right way to a global audience is key, in order to ensure
that real changes will happen to help save our planet.
When understanding global climate change, the Antarctic has
a crucial role to play. Contained within the 4m thick ice
sheet is an index showing records of past climate for the
last 500,000 years. It not only preserves an archive of
atmospheric gases, but also reveals evidence for levels of
global pollution by industry, agriculture and atomic bombs
frozen in bubbles in the ice. Scientific studies on the ice
sheet and its contribution to world sea level rise are vital
to our understanding of global change.
The effects of a warming atmosphere on the volume and
stability of the Antarctic ice cap could have profound
effects on world sea levels and ocean currents. The extent
of and duration of the Antarctic sea ice is a critical
element in modelling the global climate and simulating
future trends. |
NASA AND CLIMATE CHANGE
Only from outer space can you get the real images of what
really is happening to the Polar Regions and where better to
go than NASA and see it for yourself. Here you will see the
pictures that shocked the world into action.
CLIMATE CHANGE INSTITUTE
This institute based in Maine is on the cutting edge of
research of what is actually happening with Climate change
on a global scale.
GREENPEACE
Not always the most politically correct but Greenpeace
always have an opinion, for a different point of view this
link.
RECYCLE
As a nation the UK is one of the countries that recycles the
least in Europe and it will be through public demand that we
will change this. See all the options you have at this web
link.
CLIMATE CARE
We have joined forces with Climate
Care to carbon off set all of the travel and the fuel used
for this expedition plus our own carbon emissions for an
entire year. We are trying to direct as many people as we
can to our expedition site and then on to Climate Care in a
hope to increase the knowledge of Carbon emissions and what
we can do to lower them.
MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT LIVING
It is fair to say that almost every house in the world could
be organised better and be more efficient when it comes to
heating, water usage, cooking or waste. To start your own
journey on a more efficient household visit this website and
see what you can do today to help lessen the impact
