OIL is finite and within one or two generations will be exhausted.

This could be disastrous for us in the West as we have allowed ourselves to be completely dependent upon it. From the work we do to the food we eat, even in our leisure time, we use oil in one way or another.

This is why I believe the Government has spread this myth of man made climate change. What better way to convince us to change our habits than by terrifying us into thinking we're destroying the planet?

The plan is to change our ways slowly, so when oil is too scarce we have alternative energy supplies.

Maybe that's what Tony Blair wants his legacy to be, the man who put Britain ahead of the world with renewable energy and therefore saved us from catastrophe.

Why, though, are the Americans so reluctant to change? Oil in Antarctica perhaps?

AEROSOLS are known to be one of the world's biggest pollutants, causing global warming as they make holes in the ozone layer.

The damage is possibly worse than that caused by carbon emissions from cars.

Aerosols could become defunct.

We don't need them in our lives.

There are plenty of alternative products that work just as well out there on the supermarket shelves that are much greener.

If every household in Britain stopped using aerosols, this would have a very significant effect on cutting down on pollution
