UK and WALES TARGETS
- reduce greenhouse gases by 12.5%, by 2008-2012,
- reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 20% below 1990 levels, by 2010.

- energy
- iron and steel
- transport
- household
are contributing most to climate change.
So how can we help?
1. REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
by using renewable energy which produces no emissions
- wind farms
- wave and tidal schemes
- HEP
- other schemes
2. REDUCE OUR DEMAND FOR ENERGY in
- our homes
- transport
- industry
Even if humans did not contribute any more greenhouse gases the climate responds slowly and it may take many hundreds of years before a new balance is reached.
