Do You Care About the Climate?
As you are probably aware, the climate change conference in Copenhagen is in crisis with world leaders, particularly east/west being unable to agree.
If you care about what happens to our environment you might like to see the link that I am posting.

I am now one of over thirteen million people who have signed this petition.
Will you join me?
(With appologies for bringing politics to this gardening site, but I do think it important.)

Political? - vital to every one of us and where will our gardens be when the mean temperature is raised by up to five degrees? Prince Charles and Gordon Brown both go there - in seperate aircraft!!!!! Prince Charles in an aircraft of the Queen's flight and Gordon Brown chartered an Airbus, 283 seats for a couple of dozen people. What was wrong with scheduled flights - or even ferry and train? I could scream (in fact I just did).

The trouble is that many politicians I suspect think, oh well, I will be dead when this all kicks off. The thing is, many will still be here in twenty years when significant and quite probably irreversible organic (rainforest) systems collapse from drying out releasing their carbon dioxide, and tundra ice in Siberia and Canada melting releasing huge amounts of methane.
I was just listening to Jeremy Vine and a guest he had on gave a very persuasive argument for the scientific evidence for climate change citing all the above points plus many more. Two degrees warmer, that is the point of no return if the earth heats up by that. The earth is only two degrees warmer than when we had the last ice age, that is how narrow this window of comfort is.
Think of the earth more like your body. If it heats up by a further two degrees you die.
