Good morning and Welcome to the Climate Change Wales website.
A commercial wind farm produces only 8g of carbon dioxide per kWh. In a good location a wind turbine will have produced the equivalent amount of energy used in its construction in just 3 months. More..
The energy in fossil fuels comes from the sun. The energy stored in fossil fuels was built up over millions of years. To replace this amount of energy by capturing it from the sun in plants and turning them into biofuels would require a huge amount of land. We need this land to produce food.
The pack includes a set of activities including “top trumps” cards, role-play cards and climate change research opportunities to engage pupils in the climate change debate and the COP15 process. These can form the basis of full lessons or can be used as shorter activities in the context of other curriculum areas.

What is the problem?
There are 30 million vehicles on the road in the UK. Each mile a small petrol car travels releases 280 g of CO2 and for a small diesel car 190g of CO2 is released. Driving 2400 miles is the equivalent to the total carbon footprint of the average person in the developing world.
