London City Told to Focus on Climate Change

Just recently, Boris Johnson, the mayor of London, has been called to commit to providing annual reports on the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions in London. This call was made by the London Assembly's Environment Committee.

On top of this, the committee also called for Mr Johnson to introduced more measures to reach the 60 percent cut in emissions by 2025. These requests actually came in response to the mayor's consultation on his draft version of the Climate Change Mitigation and Energy Strategy.

This response comes also as Darren Shan, who is a top author, has been encouraging young people in London to do more to tackle climate change. Speaking at the London Zoo, Mr Shan put a lighthearted spin on climate change. He said that if London gets hotter and drier, everyone will sweat more. The city will stink of sweaty armpits and feet and other body bits.

However, Mr Shan did not stop his great speech there. He went on to say that, unless people like to sweat and like the smell of other peoples' sweat, then it is time to start walking wherever people can. Use public transportation. People should also recycle and should not waste water or energy. These things are not rocket science. These are just easy things that people can do to make London a better place. The world is in bad shape, and it seems like a lot of people simply do not care. These people are going to carry on and be as reckless as they were before, people in London do not need to be these kinds of people.
