What are the effects of Global Warming?

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

So Carbon Savings might not be the most exciting thing in the world… BUT they are essential if we still want to be kicking about in the future!

TRECO have saved (through our installed boilers) over 2,000 tonnes of carbon every year! What does that mean? Well…

Carbon is not good… too much and it clogs up the atmosphere and creates a greenhouse effect….this has a number of effects:

1. Ice Caps will melt- causing sea levels to rise and polar bears to die and land to get flooded (NOT GOOD)

2. This flooding can cause tropical and other diseases to spread more quickly.

3. Warmer water and more hurricanes.

4. Increased probability and intensity of droughts and heat waves.

5. Economic consequences. 

If we start to make a change now to our lifestyles and make them less carbon heavy- we have the ability to make a significant amount of damage limitation for the future. 

That’s me signing out… Saving the Planet one boiler at a time!

(Fairly irrelevant picture I know… but I think we’ve all seen enough of that Gordon Brown character and his crew… So you can have a look at one of our lovely boilers instead!)

Britain commits to cut carbon emissions by 34% by 2020

• An extra £1bn to help combat climate change by supporting low-carbon industries

• £525m for offshore wind projects over the next two years

£435m support for energy efficiency schemes for homes, firms and public buildings

£405m to encourage low-carbon energy and advanced green manufacturing

Totaling £2.365 Bn… a much needed boost for the industry. We are just going to have to wait and see how readily available they make the investment for grants so domestic customers & commercial projects benefit (quickly!).
