8.6 Is the future of our climate still in our hands?

There are some very interesting comments from people this week on the discussion board and ways in which we can act as individuals and societies.

It is still in our hands. We have created a global warming effect that we can’t stop. The levels of CO2 in the atmosphere are enough to keep temperatures rising for a while yet, even if we did switch everything off today. So should we all just carry on? No (obviously!). It is up to us, globally, to try and change the progression of this issue. We can act to keep the changes from reaching a tipping point. We can do this in a number of ways, starting with our own choices and actions. Saving the world can happen a little bit at a time by everyone.
