Our excessive use of natural resources − fuelled by population increases and a relentless pursuit of economic growth and material possessions − is causing alarming damage to the environment.
Human activity, such as burning fossil fuels, is causing a build-up of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, which trap heat and cause global warming.
Scientists tell us that if we don’t reduce these greenhouse emissions by 60–90 per cent in the next few years, starting immediately, temperatures will rise with catastrophic consequences − including melting icecaps raising sea levels (which will fl ood coastal regions and displace billions of people) and more drought, hurricanes and storms. |
