Life depends on the warmth of the sun being trapped by a layer of gases
that surround the Earth. We now produce so much of these heat-trapping
gasses that the layer is getting thicker, heating the world...changing
our climate and threatening our way of life. As the world gets hotter,
the climate will change...and some of the extreme effects we've witnessed
will become more frequent, making our planet a more hostile place to live.
100 degrees Fahrenheit...it’s the hottest day ever recorded in Britain.
If we could see the gases, the causes of the problem would be obvious to
everyone...and if you could see the effect we are having on our planet,
you’d do something about it. The solutions exist, and it’s not too late
to make a difference but we have to act. Now, today. Government, industry
and individuals acting together to tackle the problem. For more information

today’s challenge.
