Carbon Dioxide Poison in EU

Reading an article today, I first felt rather displeased that the Czech Republic are in 6th place out of 21 EU countries which most heavily pollute the atmosphere with CO2. I doubt anyone could honestly stand up and say they did not know how catastrophic this is for the future of the planet earth. News such as this features daily telling us of the dangers, we hear about the dangers of global warming and the crucial number 3 which refers to the number of degrees the average temperature only needs to rise to put a complete end to civilisation and the planet. However, the message still struggles to get through to countries such as the Czech Republic. The cause, it appears, is obsolete technologies, in other words examples like the majority of the power plants are still coal powered. The Czechs are making progress, I feel it’s important to add this, since they could see there is profit to make behind the efforts. This I am sure is the same for every country though. Each country is allocated a pollution permit by the Brussels authority, which appears to be far too generous as even when bearing in mind the point being made above, the Czechs were still 17% below their quota! As were a number of other countries. Rather than sitting here looking to criticise others on the failure to take reasonable positive action in the fight to reduce pollutants I must take on board that the responsibility is that of every individual that inhabits the planet. I can not take up position on my soap box and pass out blame and criticism for one very good reason, above the Czech Republic in the list of countries which most heavily pollute, was the UK!!! Makes you think doesn’t it. The remaining 4 in the top of the list are Germany, Italy, Spain and France.
