With extreme temperatures being reported across the world, this could be the year when the public at large finally believe that climate change is happening.

This is just the beginning; as we continue to pump green house gases into the atmosphere, temperatures will rise further. We need preventative action now if we are to mitigate the worst effects of climate change
