How can you take action on global warming? There is your own personal action, and action that involves co-ordination with others - especially if you think that the responses from governments, big business, and the scientific establishment could be more definite! The links that follow give some suggestions. (Note: some information on this and the links page has been taken from: 'The Rough Guide to Climate Change. The Symptoms The Science The Solutions' by Robert Henson.)

A book - 'How We Can Save the Planet (2004)' by Mayer Hillman. A lucid summary of the threat posed by climate change and the various proposed solutions. Hillman keeps the narrative lively while making it crystal clear what he expects us - as individuals and societies - to do. The last part of the book introduces the notion of personal carbon rations and offers suggestions on how to calculate and live within your own.  
A book - 'Climate Change begins at Home (2005)' by Dave Reay. Reay brings a laser-like focus and a light touch to the task of reducing your household's carbon emissions, as brought to life through a fictional family called the Carbones. What could have been a dour series of orders is instead a creative, thought-provoking guide to tackling climate change on a personal level.

Can a tanker full of iron ore solve climate change? Or produce another Ice age? This is part of the eccentric saga of Russell George, ‘The Plankton Evangelist’ as he describes himself. He is an ocean scientist currently onboard The Stad Amsterdam as it retraces the voyage of Sir Charles Darwin. The topic is Ocean Iron Fertilisation and the principle being that the dumping of iron, an important nutrient, will trigger vast algal blooms which absorb vast quantities of carbon dioxide as they grow, drawing it out of the atmosphere.
