| There is no 'debate' about [climate change](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change#Society_and_culture). All independent, peer-reviewed climate scientists are telling us that climate change is happening, it's dangerous, and it's anthropogenic. Opposing this position is politically-motivated, not scientific. The media promote the idea of a debate to sell newspapers and get viewers. There is a direct link between CO2 in the atmosphere and average global temperatures, and CO2 has gone up by about a third since the industrial revolution (and is rising rapidly). You may think this means warmer summers and milder winters, which sounds quite nice - but it also means desertification, melting ice-caps, loss of biodiversity and famine, which doesn't sound quite as good. | There is no 'debate' about [climate change](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change#Society_and_culture).

| We strongly recommend community energy, and there are two ways you can help. First, you could [invest in a community energy scheme](https://communityenergyengland.org/pages/funding-opportunities-2), and secondly, you can switch energy provider - to [Coop Energy](https://energy.yourcoop.coop/), which commits to buying the output of community renewables schemes to sell to the public. You can even stipulate what type of generation your money goes towards. | We strongly recommend community energy, and there are two ways you can help.
