CLIMATE WARS

London (UPI) Oct 25, 2004
Britain's cod, spring daffodils and Scottish ski resorts could be gone by 2050 because of global warming, a report said Monday.

The joint report by the Energy Saving Trust and the U.K. Climate Impacts Program said energy conservation measures such as installing home insulation and switching off lights could help stave off the climate change, the BBC reported.

The Energy Saving Trust, set up by the British government after the 1992 Rio Earth Summit, has organized Energy Efficiency Week to motivate consumers to conserve energy.

It is a big issue and it is getting bigger, but one which you can do something about - in your house, in your car... said Philip Sellwood, a trust executive.

The report warns that about $368 billion of assets, including more than 2 million homes, could be at risk from flooding and coastal erosion as a result of global warming raising coastal waters.

The report advises consumers to: switch televisions off standby, insulate homes, turn thermostats down one degree and choose high-efficiency boilers and appliances
