What are we going to do about rising C02 levels?

This is a good question to ask at the beginning of a new year. The trend line in the graph below indicates a pattern that doesn’t auger well for the planet unless steps are taken to reverse this trend. It is tempting to say ‘slow the trend’ but any movement towards an increase in CO2 levels will be expressed through climatic conditions that will increase in severity. The stats for 2021 and January 2022 have not been plotted but they mimic the trend that is evident: January 2021 – 416.78ppm and January 2022 – 419.80ppm

Given the significance of climate change to all living and non-living entities on the planet, the question posed should be Number 1 in our list of priorities of what we seek from our political parties come the next election. An organisation that is not aligned politically but is putting its energies into informing the communities of who is doing what in terms of climate change is Vote Earth Now. Here is how they promote themselves online:
