Climate change will reach point of no return in 20 years, says expert

The world only has 10 years to develop and implement new technologies to generate clean electricity before climate change reaches the point of no return – something the UK government failed to appreciate in its recent energy review, according to an expert.
Speaking at the British Association festival of science in Norwich yesterday, Peter Smith, a professor of sustainable energy at the University of Nottingham, said the UK had to embark on a strategy to reduce energy use by insulating homes better and encouraging more micro-generation schemes such as solar panels.
