can people please turn their thermostats down by 1 degree or more? it might sound crazy, but it isnt. 1 degree of central heating pollutes the atmosphere by 1/3 of a ton each year! you're probably not going to notice 1 degree of central heating anyway. You might think that this will only work if the whole world does it, but if nobody does it because of that reason, we're worse of than if 1 person does it, and who'll notice 1 degree? Dont say you wont do it because you'll be dead by then, because if no-one does this, global warming could happen in 30 years time, and even if you do die in 30 years time, you wouldnt want your children to die. The effects of global warming is melting of the polar ice-caps, which will melt, and sea level will rise by 66m. whoever's house is smaller than 66m will drown. the UK will have arctic winters. thats around -90° F. Our eyes freeze at -80°. Dont think that central heating wont make a difference, and we should be worrying about airplanes instead,
