It is time to turn down the heat, we are heading to a 2 degree warmer planet, it seems there isn't much we can do not to avoid that. It is now time to do all we can to prevent a 4 degrees warmer planet, if we want Humans to survive. Many Developing countries are making changes and taking mitigating actions. They are taking measures to adapt to sea level rise and flooding. Agriculture is being adjusted to suit the changing environment. Unfortunately the Developed Nations are not taking this seriously, and it is here that small personal changes can achieve the most. The problem isn't 'out there' any more, it is here with us. It is through changes in our lifestyles that most can be achieved.

BBC has information on Climate Change      Whats the Government doing about Climate Change?

So how much do we need to cut our CO2 emissions by?

The world-wide average CO2 emissions by capita was about 4 tons per year in 2005. For North America it was about 20 tons and for Europe about 10 tons per year per capita. By 2050, the world-wide average CO2 emission per capita needs to be reduced to 2 tons per year. time for a change.org

So if in North America we need to drop 18 tons/year, and  in Europe its 8 tons/year off our Carbon foot print.
