Almost 30 years of tracking anthropogenic [caused by human activity] greenhouse gas emissions. As a world, we definitely have NOT got on top of this problem and the consequence is an increasing rate of global warming / climate change. The affects of which are disproportionately felt by the less developed nations. The solution needs both government & individual actions as many little things soon add up. .

A stark reminder that even the pledges made at COP26 [Glasgow, November 2021] still leave a huge shortfall between where we are and where we will need to be in terms of reducing CO2 emissions. This also assumes that all of the existing pledges - at the national scale - will be met. . It looks like an impossible challenge. . However, there are a lot of things that can be done by individuals, alongside industry and politicians, towards reaching these targets. Even making small changes, if enough do it, the totals will be significant. Some other images in this album may have some ideas that will help with this ... . For example, some things I have done ... a) I used to make a 500 car mile journey every two or three weeks - not any more. b) Over the past couple of decades or so, I have planted over 200 trees and shrubs, mostly to provide areas of better wildlife habitat. The maintenance [pruning & thinning] of that area is now producing enough material for some heating in my home and reducing reliance on LPG. c) reducing the proportion of "high carbon" meat and "high mileage" foods in my diet. . .
