Nuclear power

Nuclear power is one of the most controversial ways of generating electricity.  Nuclear power stations are capable of producing large quantities of power almost continuously.  Large numbers of people are needed to operate them and this creates skilled jobs in the areas where they are located.  Opponents point to the huge damage that could be caused by an accident or terrorist attack, the dangerous waste that is produced, and the inefficiency of producing large amounts of electricity in remote locations.

Fossil Fuel

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 Big Climate Change Debate - How to play your part pack

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.
