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.
