Our Future, Both 2015 and 2050
These dates as you may or may not know mark the point of no return ( 2015 ) and the date in which we must reduce our emissions by 80% ( 2050 ). Throughout this project we have discovered the inconvenient truth, and have powerful thoughts on it.
Now collect those thoughts, and prepare your best arguement, one you will probably present tomorrow at 9 during the video conference.
What do you think the eventual outcome will be, and why. What WILL we/you do in order to save our lovely home.
I for one, am taking that checklist and going to complete everything on it. Ones that require daily inputs, will recieve it. I will further explore this issue and do my best to accomplish our goal. I know we CAN do it, but do not see it happening due to the ignorance of our current superiors and the way of life they have pounded into their ever so thick skulls. ALTHOUGH b/c of this, I shall do everything in my power to prove myself wrong, and I hope you all do too.

I believe that what can we do to save our world is that stop building more and more factories in developing countries such as China and India. And also, we should close some of the factories to reduce the pollution of the air as well. Money will not work as well as we think in the future.
I think that shutting down factories and limiting our use of carbon gases could really help our world. As Mr.Marchand said, its our reseponsibilty to make our world greener, since it was us that made climate change happen
If we cut down on our emissions, and make it our priority to change the environment, then we will have indeed cleared our first hurdle towards make a greener environemnt.
I think that all actions need to be rearranged. A sustainable developed is our goal.
i aqgree with you in wanting to close down factories but this may be hard to do becouse this will affect many people. people will be out of work
Yes, people might be out of work, but consider that large number of human jobs have been replaced my machines in recent years, robots and automation of the workplace. If we de-technologised some of our manufacturing and service processes (eg. build things by hand where possible, hire people to answer business phones, SLOW down the pace of life) we might find jobs for people displaced by closing certain industries.
