Globalisation is devastating the natural environment. Over consumption, waste and pollution, "normal" in developed nations has now been promoted and supported throughout the world. The planet is changing due to Global warming, although arguments rage about the accuracy of long term predictions we know that the use of fossil fuel produces carbon emissions and that CO2 contributes to global warming, although not yet by how much in relation to natural processes. In other words the globalised industrial system is affecting the planet. It makes sense to act now as a precautionary measure.

​

Not only would the switch to a less unsustainable, less consumerist, less global way of life mitigate some of global warming's effects it would result in a better quality of life. If we continue to ignore the warning signs the first people to suffer will be those with the least, those less able to cope with the changes, the most vulnerable.
