Climate Change and is it ‘Real’?

Throughout my time within this industry, delivering products and services for organisations and even over the last 16 years of delivering consultancy, I have never seen such drive towards the awareness of ‘Climate Change’. Although this brings so much happiness to me, that we are now finally recognising that there is action required, it saddens me that there are conspiracies and human beings that actually are ‘pushing back’.

I am sure you will agree with me that the world is full of conspiracy theories, and I sometimes find myself reading such sources with regards to, did we land on the moon? Was it really the sister ship of the Titanic that sunk and not the Titanic itself? The conspiracies go on and on. However, in all cases regarding climate change, you simply can’t deny that innocent people and families are being affected as there is so much loss of life and animals and living species being destroyed. This cannot be denied.

My article this week is an article that has not been written to rally the troops, or to create arguments, it has been written to deal with the facts. These facts are being produced and delivered to us by some of the most qualified experts in the world, such as scientists, doctors and experts in their field, who have embraced these studies throughout the whole of their career.

The facts are also actual statistics, and all of these create models. So how can we deny the facts? Are we seeing temperatures continually rising and are we seeing a definitive ‘change’ in the climate? We can only answer these questions with a ‘yes’.

Climate change is real and if we don’t all pull together to address this, it will have disastrous effects on our planet. We will end up letting our children’s children down and failing them. We cannot blame our parents for the industrial revolution and such growth in carbon emitting industries, but we can take the blame for not addressing the issues today to stop, or even slow down the change.

What can we do? What is the solution? Can we really address the issues? I think we can and there are many ways here to deliver a solution. But at this stage solutions are not the issue, the real issue here is ‘Education’ and ‘Awareness’.

During COP26 and leading up to it, we have seen and heard so much about climate change. The radio is full of adverts and articles and LinkedIn has been dominated with Climate Change, which is where I have been seeing the ‘conspiracy’ workers bombing posts with their anti wording. Algorithm wise, this is great, as it is adding fuel to the posts and promoting them to go viral (so please don’t stop).?It is in fact an inspiration to fellow experts to keep writing and educating.

The 26th COP has made a big impact to the education and awareness of climate change, but we actually need more. Everyone in the world needs to be made aware of climate change and the facts surrounding it. It was great to see the whole world coming together to share their actions and commitments. I wasn’t aware that this is an annual meeting which is down to the delegates, but I do realise that there is a significant cost to this. Maintaining an annual approach however, is very important.

I would agree that there was some significant ‘blah blah blah’, but it did bring a significant increase of awareness. We have seen the ‘Climate Change’ subject dominate the media and many questions have begun to be answered. I know tomorrow that everyone in the world won’t now stop eating red meat, they won’t stop driving petrol guzzling cars, or they won’t think twice about turning the heat up or even leaving the lights turned on. We are however, another step nearer to bringing the awareness closer to home and to the right people in order to make the difference.

Here are some points I feel will make a difference:

• Make ‘Climate Change’ a subject in schools and even create accreditation in this subject. Look to add it into the global education syllabus.
• Organisations need to educate their staff and make it part of the ‘Employee Handbook’ and their induction process.
• Governments need to maintain their focus on the subject whatever the economic impact.
• Individuals around the world need to open themselves up to the facts.
• Buy 100% renewable energy and where possible, plant a tree every year are just some small actions for the future.

Someone once said to me “I only deal in facts.” Since hearing that saying, that has always been my outlook.
