          Importance: High
          Hi there,

          on the 5th of June we are going to publish a green issue, devoted completely on the
          environment, climate change etc
          i talked to one of your press office colleagues yesterday asking if i could email a
          couple of questions for one of your experts
          i do like dr P. Jones, i have interviewed him in the past as well but please ask
          whoever is available as my deadline is Friday noon (UK time)

          many many thanks

          1) The earth is getting warmer  and scientists predict increasing droughts, floods
          and extreme weather- can you please discuss the worse scenarion for the next 100
          years?
          a rise in Earth's temperature, sea levels, icemelting, biodiveristy threatened-
          speciesin danger- areas most affected

             The worst scenario is that Greenland starts to melt rapidly leading to a much
      larger sea-level rise than estimated by IPCC.


          2) Are human activities to blame? (ie greenhouse gas emissions) or is nature going
          through an enciromental circle as some other surveys suggest

         Humans are to blame


          3) With humanity demanding more from the Earth than ever before, what are planet's
          most pressing environmental problems?

         Global Warming


          4) Can climate change be tackled? How? What do you urge the International community
          to do? Is Britain playing a key role in saving the planet?

        Britain and Europe are playing the leading roles.  It has to be tackled at the
      govt level, but recent news reports indicate that G8 (with Germany leading)
      are not having much success persuading the US and Japan to do anything.


          5) Is EU leading a Kyoto carbon revolution- what is the role of the US and China

        The latter two don't seem to do anything. They dispute the science.


          6) Can you give us a couple of tips that we could follow in everday life (ie switch
          off the electrical appliances when not in use) in order to help the environment

         Encourage alternative energy options (involving renewables) and change lighting
      to more energy saving bulbs and likewise buy more energy efficient applicances
      elsewhere in the home.





          ps- if there is any UEA survey on climate change please email me some info and add
          anything else you might feel it's important
