The climate impacts we are seeing today are already substantial based on just a 1°C rise in the Earth’s average temperature – heavy rain is increasing, droughts worsening, heatwaves intensifying, powerful hurricanes rising in number, fires raging, ice sheets melting, people and species suffering more, our planet threatened …
And why?
Simply because we’re using an archaic source of energy to power our modern world
Oil, coal and gas – fossil fuels or rather fossilised fuels – the dead remains of animals and plants from thousands of years ago, like a global pyre, are polluting the planet and threaten to change our world as we know it.
So Let’s Stop Using Fossil Fuels
We must make the change to clean green energy before it’s too late
Catastrophic impacts can still be avoided but only with the FAST transfer from climate-changing fossil fuels to clean green energy to limit the world’s average temperature increase, above pre-industrial levels, to no more than:
1.5°C
We are NOT on course to do this
We are on course to raise the Earth’s temperature by 4°C or more this century….
and higher beyond….
And once done – we can’t change it back –
But …
You can change this
We can change this
Parties in Power Won’t Get There in Time
It has gone beyond waiting for parties and governments to effect the necessary change in time –
At present, global emissions are unlikely to fall in the coming critical decade –
But …
People power is stronger than party power
There are enough people now marching and caring to make the difference.
We Can
100 Million People As Energy Consumers
Can Change Climate Change

So let’s create change
To keep the world’s average temperature increase to 1.5°C above its pre-industrial level means global emissions of carbon dioxide must fall by 45% from 2010 levels by 2030 reaching net zero by 2050.
9 Years
This means there is just 9 years before global emissions must fall by almost 50%
For this to happen, investments in green energy need to increase six-fold, which is where the general public come in.
Like any product green energy needs consumer support to ensure its rapid expansion
This means each and every one of us must:
buy it, use it … get others to do the same
A six-fold growth in green energy
investment is needed now
Consumer Support can effect real change
By increasing green energy’s uptake, we will increase investment and expand production…so the industry grows faster …
Six-fold faster is needed!
As energy consumers
Our choices create power
And can create change
We need 100 Million People
To transfer to a green electricity and green gas tariff
