Global Warming

Global warming is the rise of temperature on our Earth’s atmosphere.

It’s cold outside and all that most of us are thinking about are warmer climates, our next holiday. But could your next tropical holiday be right here in Britain? However daft that may seem studies are showing that over the past decade, our climate is becoming warmer, that’s hard to believe after these two weeks of big freeze.

Nearly every scientist will support the fact that in the last thirty to forty years the Earth has got warmer but all debate on the rightful reasons.

Over these years there has been conflicting documentations based on issues of global warming and climate change, the effects and causes. Just two of these conflicting debates are looked at here.

Her main argument and defence, is you don’t need to forsake your fun in the sun to help combat climate change.

Maybe it’s time to see green and as I said previously I didn’t think of the major effects on the earth when flying at 30,000 feet, myself along with you the conceivable traveller could start to consider the future of our increasing climate on the world, not by jeopardising our holidays or even by giving up on our holiday but by looking at our options.

Climate change will never be completely solved but little changes can make a big difference.
