There is now little doubt that global warming and climate change are the result of human activity. This has happened because of a failure in policy by governments and a lack of concern for wasted energy by individuals.

It is almost universally accepted that climate change is the of a number of environmental failings. Perhaps the most important of these is how fuels such as gas and coal are still the main source of power. This is a problem because their use means that a large amount of CO2 is into the atmosphere the effect. Another serious issue is how illegal continues in rainforests and the Amazon Basin in particular. It should also not be forgotten that there is a between global warming and the inefficient use of energy by consumers in the home.

While governments must take prime responsibility for reducing climate change, individuals too can play a part. Political leaders across the globe to cooperate so that research into forms of energy such as wind and solar power is properly funded and the use of coal and gas in power is phased out. They must also of course ensure that regulations against logging are properly enforced. Consumers of energy can help by insulating their homes properly and using panels where possible so that less energy is required and wasted. These actions limit the amount of CO2 in the and so reduce the greenhouse effect.
