Although there are as always skeptics there is now International scientific agreement due to overwhelming evidence that increasing levels of man-made greenhouse gases are leading to global climate change. Some sections of the UK media tend portray the scientific evidence that has been collected about climate change and the impact of greenhouse gas emissions from human activities as an exaggeration. Some articles have claimed that scientists are ignoring uncertainties in our understanding of the climate and the factors that affect it. Some have questioned the motives of the scientists who have presented the most authoritative assessments of the science of climate change, claiming that they have a vested interest in playing up the potential effects that climate change is likely to have. Equally, those who choose not to believe that Global Warming has anything to do with what mankind is doing to the planet are only concerned because of damage to their financial interests and the belief that it will affect the Global Economy if we adopt a policy of radical change.They need to be reminded that up until the beginning of the industrial age mankind’s activities had little effect on the planet but since then the consequences of climate change have included rising temperatures, changing sea levels, and impacts on global weather. These changes could have serious impacts on the world’s organisms and on the lives of millions of people, especially those living in areas vulnerable to extreme natural conditions such as flooding and drought.
