IMG_8837_cuadrilla.jpg A test drilling site for shale gas at Preese Hall Farm near Blackpool, Lancashire, UK. The gas is contained within layers of shale rock and is released by a controversial process known as Fracking, where liquids are pumped into the rock under high pressure to shatter the rock and release the gas. Recently the process was halted when it was thought it was responsible for two small earthquakes in the area.
In the USA the process is highly controvercial, as it leads to contamination of groundwater and polluted drinking water. Its exploitation is also obviously very bad from a climate change perspective.

IMG_4925_population control.jpg One way of tackling climate change would be to look at over population. Basically there are too many people on a small planet with not enough resources to go round. Tackling population growth would be an efficient way of tackling climate change

366W9996_seal meat.jpg An Inuit woman skins a spotted seal on Shishmaref a tiny island between alaska and siberia in the Chukchi sea is home to around 600 inuits or eskimos. As hunter gatherers their carbon footprint is tiny and as such are least responsible for global warming. Yet they are suffering greatly as a result. Their problem is twofold as temperatures rise the sea ice that used to protect thier island home forming around late september is now not forming until late december. this leaves them vulnerable to autumn and early winter storms that are eroding their island and washing it into the sea. Already 10 houses have been washed into the sea and more have had to be moved back from the edge. They are looking at having to relocate their whole comunity to the mainland but the government is refusing to pay for the relocation. Secondly the animals that they rely on for food are moving further north as temperatures warm making them harder to find and hunt threatening their ancient culture and identity.

IMG_1591_dragon.jpg An ice dragon in Ski Dubai. Dubai must have the largest carbon footprint of any city in the world per head of population. Ski Dubai is a massive skiing complex that has to be cooled to a constant below freezing temperature whilst the outside temperatures can reach 50 degrees celcius, requirnig vast quantities of energy.
