The 80% challenge to developing countries to reduce carbon emissions
Why do we need an 80% cut?
The world’s leading climate scientists agree that to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, the average global temperature should not rise more than 2°C above pre-industrial levels. The UK Government and the EU have accepted this goal and the science behind it. To stand a good chance of staying below a 2°C rise will require a minimum 50% global reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. The UK Government gave public support to this conclusion, when calling for a 50% reduction in GHG emissions by 2050 at this summer’s G8 meeting.

We all need to stop, think and act NOW. Not tomorrow, not next week and certainly not next year.
We should all be asking ourselves what WE can do to help this situation.
I would like to suggest that anybody who cares for the environment and believes that Climate Change is a real phenomena should join Ubiee to join with like minded people and keep informed.

Hello Janet!
You are doin a great work here in APSense. I have not been her for long time. This commiunity did not fill my requests and the standards I dreamed when I joined. I will stay law and support my friends. In this community there is no direct social contacts and only close team work is what we can expect when we write articles.
I recommend our friends to take contact with UBIEE. As you mention the best thing to do is to join the skype chatters. There is always somebody to give replies
