Welcome from the Chair
You may have seen in the news recently that extreme weather events - extreme heat and flooding - have become more intense and more frequent, or noticed that spring is beginning on average one month earlier. This is a result of climate change due to human activities, primarily the burning of fossil fuels. The UK has already warmed 1.3 deg C and is warming at a rate of 0.2 - 0.3 deg C per decade, disrupting stability of weather patterns, causing rising sea levels, ocean acidification and the breakdown of biological systems. This is a global issue that will impact us all.
Globally action is being taken. The UK Government has enshrined in law a commitment to reduce UK emissions to net zero by 2050, and in 2021 China built more offshore wind capacity than whole world in the last five years.
However, there is much we can do locally to reduce our impact and the primary focus of the group is to help parishoners take local action. Please check out or recent set of articles in the Bugle written by our members and which we hope you will find useful, alongside some hopefully useful links. This site will develop, so please do come back regularly to check on updates.
Mark Thompson
Chair
