Climate Change

The Frightening Time-line:

• 2007 – IPCC predicted 10C increase by 2100
• 2008 – The prediction was increased by 20C
• 2010 – The UN Environmental Program predicted a 50C increase by 2050
• 2012 – The international Energy Agency claim at 3.50C by 2035

Warning: 40C rise means we can’t survive!

Methane & the time line:

• Methane is 23 times more significant as a greenhouse gas than CO2
• 500 million tonnes added to atmosphere annually
• Newest source is permafrost melts & methane hydrates from oceans

Company Name

The company name is selected to reflect two of my interests: bee keeping & tree & vegetable agronomy.
