Wild Card's description 
Climate change particularly linked to man-made causes and increased CO2 will involve more risky exploration for fossil fuels and irreparable damage to wildlife habitats, shrinkage in polar caps, sea level rises. This could be addressed by the provision of a pan European Government incentive, and further support and encouragement to make changes through Carbon duties fixed at an appropriate level.
