C.C.C Web Site               The campaign slogan for Colon Cancer Concern is " LOOK BEFORE YOU FLUSH". Global warming will increase both the frequency and severity of floods and drought. ALL 10 of the warmest years on record have occurred since 1990, and 19 of the 20 warmest since 1980. Methane is a greenhouse gas that traps 20 times more heat than carbon dioxide (another greenhouse gas). More carbon than exists in all the known coal, oil and natural gas reserves is locked up as frozen Methane Hydrates on the ocean floors. These Hydrates can melt with only a few degrees rise in ocean sub-sea temperatures, releasing methane gas into the atmosphere. Several nations are presently funding research into extracting this "new source of fossil fuel" in a safe and economical way but since the words safe and economical do not equate we can expect some leakage to occur, which will further increase global warming and cause further water shortages. An area of Siberian tundra, the size of France and Germany combined, is now melting for the first time in 11,000 years, releasing millions of tons of methane per year. Global warming is feeding energy into our planet and its weather systems at a rate equal to that released by exploding 5 Hiroshima bombs per second and this rate is increasing exponentially. The 2005 Hurricane season has been the worst on record, effecting oil prices and economies on a global scale. Assuming that 80% of all UK toilets are still 9 litre single flush and on metered supplies, fitting them all with the Interflush™ would give UK savings of:   Resource UK Saving Water 511 million m3 Energy 463 million Kwh Carbon dioxide emissions Reduction 206 million Kg UK water savings of 511 million m3 is enough to supply an extra 4 million new homes. Water can only be saved when there is some to save, its too late to save water when the reservoirs are empty.   500 U.K wet land habitats are under threat of drying out from over abstraction of water.
