We are all aware of the environmental changes happening around the world at the moment, with changing weather patterns occurring more so now than in the last twenty years. These changes are the result of Global Warming which has accelerated due to an increasing reliance on fossil fuels and the destruction of the Great Rainforests of the World.
This has caused the Earth to become unbalanced. Never before in our lifetime has man destroyed the one thing that has kept the Earth in its balance. With the release of Carbon Dioxide, through fossil fuels used throughout the world in transport, machinery and industrial pollution, and with an increasing population, we have in fact created a huge Greenhouse effect that will adversely affect the lives of our children!
You may think that weather patterns will change but global warming brings a new danger. The inside of the Earth is changing and with it, new earthquakes will shake and volcanoes will erupt. We can help to reverse this effect by stopping the deforestation which will slowly return the Earths temperature to the equilibrium that Nature depends upon. The rainforests are being destroyed at an alarming rate. We are told the size of a football field each second! They suck up the Carbon Dioxide and release Oxygen for us to breath. You can see that with the destruction of the forests, there is nowhere for these poisonous gases to go but into the atmosphere. This causes the Earth to heat up, creating all sorts of problems; disease, drought, floods and famine. This is happening all around the world.
With the Earth heating up, the ice caps will melt, (with signs of this happening already). If that is not enough, there is another danger lurking within the seas of the Earth. Like the Gulfstream that circulates warm air, the conveyor belt-like system that drives warm water around the Earth is slowly being switched off. With the polar ice caps melting, more fresh water is being released into the salt water thereby slowly turning the belt off. Once this system is switched off, we will have no warm water and an ice age will ensue. This can happen at any time!
We beg you to urge all our nations leaders to stop this disastrous cycle today! |

We are a non-profit group, campaigning to achieve 1 million signatures to present to Kofi Anaan and World Leaders. We want an end to the destruction of the Rainforests before it ultimately will seal our fate. We must stop this disastrous cycle before 2012 otherwise humankind will join the list of extinct species. |
