Climate Change

Taking Action in Stafford Borough

The climate of our planet is being changed due largely to the actions of human beings. By treating our atmosphere as an infinite space to dump our emissions of waste gases, such as carbon dioxide from energy production, we have critically unbalanced the natural system and made it unsustainable. The effects of higher average global temperatures, chaotic weather systems and rising sea levels are already becoming apparent and increasingly disruptive and damaging across the world and effecting our local environment too.
