look how widespread they are. there were records broken in all the nations of the uk. so what can be done? well, we can plant more trees. they soak up carbon from the atmosphere, but it takes time for them to grow and the c02 can be released back when they die. a british start up company has developed small scale units that can strip carbon dioxide from the air. it can then be permanently stored underground. we can produce units anywhere because we have off the shelf units that we re using and we can deploy them anywhere. and so from our perspective, that means you have the highest opportunity to actually remove the most amount of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. other companies like this one in iceland have alternative technologies that do the same. but by far the most important thing we need to do is reduce our use of fossilfuels, and quickly.
this graph gives us all thejulys since 1880, when the industrial revolution and carbon emissions really started to take off. and look how the temperature has steadily risen to where we are now. this, of course, is how the weather looked for most of us here in the uk thisjuly. even if there was record heat elsewhere. it was a very different story last year, though, with that record breaking heatwave. 57 weather stations across the country recorded all time high temperatures. look how widespread they are. there were records broken in all the nations of the uk. so what can be done? well, we can plant more trees. they soak up carbon from the atmosphere, but it takes time for them to grow and the c02 can be released back when they die. a british start up company has developed small scale units that can strip carbon dioxide from the air. it can then be permanently
