We believe that everyone has a part to play in combatting climate change and we will provide practical tips and advice on how you can reduce your carbon footprint and live a more eco-friendly lifestyle. From small changes such as switching to LED light bulbs to bigger decisions like buying an electric vehicle or installing solar panels, we will explore a range of options for you to take action.It's important to remember that time is of the essence. The longer we delay taking action, the more severe the consequences of climate change will be. As a society, we need to act urgently to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and shift to cleaner, more sustainable forms of energy. We believe that everyone has a role to play in this collective effort, and we hope to inspire you to take the necessary steps to become part of the solution.So, join us on this journey towards a more sustainable future.

Are We Going to Run Out of Water

August 19, 2022 16:00 - 30 minutes - 21.1 MB

Since Water is 2/3 of our planet, its hard to imagine that we could ever run out however only 3% of that water is fresh meaning vast majority of it is inaccessible for human use. So are we going to run out of water?   As a result, water scarcity is a pressing and important issue for much of the global population and with all the droughts that are happening around the world, they're reducing the amount of fresh water available for everyone The United Nations sees water scarcity as “scarcity i...

The Direct Impacts of Drought

August 12, 2022 17:00 - 31 minutes - 21.5 MB

As the next wave of heat is hitting Europe, Drought are being declared all over and we are feeling the impact , directly through TUB's (AKA hosepipe bans) or indirectly like potential winter food shortages To understand how a drought can cause food shortages we need to an analogy as falling row of dominoes. Now imagine if the first domino might be farmers’ corn crops dying. The second domino might be that the farmers would not have money to buy a new tractor from the dealer in town. The deal...

A new report from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) has sent press in panic with doom and gloom forecasts. the report talks about the “four horsemen” of climate change with new names such as famine and undernutrition, extreme weather events, conflict, and vector-borne diseases. According to the international team of researchers, they propose need for a new research agenda to look into bad-to-worst-case scenarios ranging from a loss of 10% of the global population to ...

Water's Worth Saving

July 28, 2022 19:00 - 30 minutes - 21 MB

Over the course of this week, water companies published their drought plans in an effort to say that  "water is worth saving" but that there is no need to panic over water scarcity. because most companies need to do this year since its required by law every five years to produce and publish a drought plan, and with the ongoing warm weather in much of the country follows the driest winter and spring since the 1970s, these drought plans have made it into the news. then on Tuesday 26 of July, t...

Will heat waves occur more often

July 14, 2022 17:00 - 30 minutes - 20.9 MB

Across the globe, countries such as Japan, Italy, Norway, Iran and Finland are breaking heat records as a swing of heat waves makes life very difficult. One question people keep asking is are they occuring more often?  Lets start to answer that by stating what is a heat wave.  simply put it is a system of high atmospheric pressure moves into an area and lasts two or more days.  Climate change is making these occur more often and increasing the intensity of these high pressure systems changin...

Who should set the climate targets

July 07, 2022 19:00 - 30 minutes - 21.2 MB

Who should set the climate targets? Should it be, the scientists, the people, the governments? Philip and Paul open this can of worms and try to decide which is best. Climate targets are the limits that scientists and policymakers have set in plans to combat climate change.  These targets can take different forms, from goals for limiting the Earth’s warming to hard caps on greenhouse gas emissions, and but they can be set really by anyone, however they should follow a plan. #climatechange...

The consequence’s of doing nothing

June 23, 2022 20:00 - 30 minutes - 20.7 MB

Everything is so bad, the climate change is causing fires and floods and what the point of doing anything. If I turn down the heating a bit, if I use an electric car - how's that going to change anything? The honest answer is if I do all these changes it won't change anything but what are the consequences of doing nothing?    Doing nothing isn't an option. Doing nothing will cost far more than doing something.   Russia's special operation on Ukraine is devastating for the country and ha...

Moving to a solar punk world to stop climate change

June 16, 2022 17:00 - 30 minutes - 21.2 MB

What is solar punk? Putting solar panels on the roof is not solar punk, It’s being one with nature It’s a different way of thinking. It’s not where they were made from, but how to make them even greener and cleaner. Using grey water, creating new environments. Using some out of the box thinking. Why are our wind turbines not made of wood?. Why not float them above the houses. What not live where the resources are rather than moving the resources. Data centre running off solar energy. Build a...

What can be done to prevent littering?

June 10, 2022 13:00 - 30 minutes - 20.9 MB

The long weekend in the UK to celebrate the Queens Platinum Jubilee was truly wonderous. There were street parties, parades, events put on up and down the country. Even my little town did its bit with a funfair, a stage and live band in the park and after the beacon had been lit, fireworks to finish. But as we walked away the field was littered with rubbish. Bottles, plastic cups, the remains of half eaten food - just abandoned on the field. The bins were no better. There were full to over f...

Is it worth having solar panels now?

June 03, 2022 14:00 - 29 minutes - 20.6 MB

There are loads of companies willing to sell solar panels to home owners, but with no feed in tariff does it make sense to install panels on the roof. The costs of electricity and gas are soaring so perhaps any difference will be worthwhile. The cost of panels has dropped over the years but is now rising again. The power of the panels has increased. So does it make sense to install panels? Would you do better to invest in air source heating or another technology.   Solar water works reall...

Climate 'Doomism', What difference am I making?

May 28, 2022 10:00 - 31 minutes - 21.7 MB

It appears that we are not doing enough so should we just give up. Some countries won't play, others make empty promises. I try to do my bit but nobody else does so what is the point? It won't make much difference to me - I'm old it's someone else's problem. The kids talk all about doing this and that, but they still use loads of power on their phones and computers wasting more than they are saving. The world is going to pot and I can't do anything about it. Little differences make a big ch...

#cookingwithgas

December 03, 2021 09:00 - 29 minutes - 20.4 MB

For years Gas companies and suppliers, have been telling us to cook with gas, because cooking with gas is FASTER, CLEANER, and CHEAPER than Electricity.
