- Nicola thinks dealing with global warming is all about energy use:
jerry2k8 : Nicola, What is your view on global warming and how it should be dealt with?
nicolalazenby : Global Warming is happened – that’s a fact! (Why else would we have snow in the spring!) I think dealing with it should be about getting people to use less energy and finding renewable sources for the energy we do use!
- And Keith believes young people should learn how to monitor how much energy they use:
annamac : Why do you think it is important to teach children about energy monitoring equipment?
keithbeattie : energy is invisible, by metering you can start to understand how, when and why we use so much. Its important as we will need to modify all our behaviours – and young poeple can help educate us old ones
- Ed thinks it’s important to reduce greenhouse gas emissions too:
edwardtaylor : @sophiegallagher – yes unfortunately all planes release gasses that are bad for the environment. This is something all aerospace engineers are working on, we still need to keep flying but we need to work out a way of damaging the environment less!
