IMG_3611_fire fighter.jpg Following the warmest and driest April on record, moorland fires broke out across the UK. Ogden Moor near Wainstalls above Halifax was one of many victims. Several square Km of moorland burned for four days. The blaze was tackled by fire fighters, but despite their efforts the blaze destroyed valuable moorland habitat, killing mammals and amphibians and destroying nesting birds nests. The wind farm was also closed down for a number of days as the blades were a danger to the helicopters fighting the blaze with aerial water drops. This shot shows a fire fighter covering his face against the smoke.

IMG_2469_air pollution.jpg In 2008 China officially became the worlds largest emitter of C02 (greenhouse gases), largely driven by its ever increasing demand for energy most of which is met by producing electricity from coal fired power stations.  Worryingly China is building a new coal fired power station every week and has huge reserves of coal, much of which is very low grade and highly polluting. Slum dwellings in Suihua, Heilongjiang Province pump out coal smoke into an already highly polluted atmosphere.

IMG_4073_desertification.jpg China is in the middle of the worst drought in 50 years. Precipitation totals have fallen significantly across most of China's northern provinces. 60% of China's 669 major cities face water shortages, of these 110 face serious water shortages. Climate change modelling shows that Northern China is going to get significantly drier leading to crop failure and desertification which is already happening in many places in northern China.  Inner Mongolia has been particularly badly hit with ever drier conditions and creeping desertification. Here a sand storm sweeps across a highway in Inner Mongolia

IMG_9440_canal.jpg A gondola ride for tourists. Venice is on the front line of the battle against climate change. This unique cultural treasure is sinking into the sea. Over the last 100 years the relative sea level has risen in Venice by 23cm part due to sea level rise and part due to subsidence. The MOSE project is a $7billion engineering battle to try and save Venice from ever rising seas. The idea is to create a series of barricades that will rise from the lagoon and protect Venice from the highest tides. The Mayor of Venice already believes the project is redundant in the face of a predicted rapidly rising sea level.

Climate change modelling shows that Northern China is going to get significantly drier leading to crop failure and desertification which is already happening in many places. Inner Mongolia has been particularly badly hit with ever drier conditions and creeping desertification. Near Dongsheng an area known as Hong Hai Zai used to be a large lake. Its waters used to harbour many fish, caught and sold at market by the locals. It finally dried up completely in 1999, leaving a baked landscape on which a few hardy plants now grow. This mongolian man leads his camel across what was the former lake bed.
