In the next decade the world could have its first carbon neutral country, the Maldives are planning to switch all of their energy consumption from carbon to renewable energy, they would no longer be a net contributor to green house gases and could lead the way for other country’s to follow on. The current escalation in global warming leaves us little choice but to try our best as quickly as possible to reduces green house gases and the Maldives are taken it upon itself to lead the way, If they are successful this could be the blue print the rest of the world will have to copy as global warming becomes a real threat and is accelerating far quicker than anybody predicted in the past, even just 2 years ago the experts at the UN got it wrong and are now seeing rising sea levels and never been seen storms in other parts of the world, well done to Maldives and I hope all gives its backing at the meeting in Copenhagen this week.

Green Energy Boom
Over the next 8 years low carbon jobs will create 410,126 new jobs, the prime minister says that to boost the environment and help the country out of the current recession this is a must if we are to meet previous targets of reducing 60% of Co2 by the year 2050.
When current research was analyzed it shows that there will be around 1.25 million people working in the environmental sector by 2018.
With the recent drive around the world to reduce our carbon footprint the big countries are starting to see that they won t be immune from any future climate changes so are now living up to realism that they also must start putting measures in place or we will all face the consequences, with America now on board the we need to get the like so the world’s largest polluters on board and then we can all look forward to a happier greener environment and maybe even enjoy cheap electricity prices as the newer technologies allow us to produce energy cheaper than ever.
