Welcome to the Carbon Leaf

Climate Change

Climate change is now a reality for most people. We need to act now to ensure future generations enjoy the Earth as we have today.

The main human influence on global climate is likely to be [human] emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane.
The Earth's climate has been relatively stable since the end of the last ice age, about 10,000 years ago, but it is now changing. The average global temperature is rising. The 20th century was probably the warmest century in the last 1,000 years: there was about 0.6C of warming, with land warming more than the sea. The 1990s were the warmest decade in the last 100 years. There is also evidence that rainfall patterns are changing, sea levels are rising, glaciers are retreating, arctic sea-ice is thinning and the incidence of extreme weather is increasing in some parts of the world.

UK Climate Impact Programme

Carbon Offseting

You can take this opportunity to offset your carbon emissions and those of your dependents. Carbon Leaf will offset your carbon emissions by creating new areas of native broadleaf woodland throughout the UK. These woodlands will lock up carbon as they grow removing your emissions from the greenhouse effect. The woodlands will also provide sanctuary for wildlife, support the local economy and provide recreational facilities for all.
