Why is World Energy Demand Growing?
Global demand for energy grows and increases due to:
- Rapidly growing world population, estimated to reach 10 billion (10.000.000.000) by 2050, unless something drastic occurs.
- Growing middle class and an increase in wealth in countries like India and China
- Powerless countries and regions gaining access to energy through renewables, especially solar energy.
According to OPEC, even traditional oil producing countries have for long already been investing heavily into renewable energy sources, and have acknowledged the importance of reducing traditional energy sources including fossil fuels.
The faster the transition to renewable energy sources, the faster we can move away from fossil fuels that according to vast research around our globe are the main source of greenhouse gases that lead to the greenhouse effect that is raising the average temperatures on Earth.

Climate March Helsinki October 2018
More than 8.000 climate change activists and tens of NGO´s including Greenpeace Finland, Unicef and many others participated in Helsinki climate march on October 20th 2018, demanding the government of Finland to take action with regard to climate change. Despite of being a sparsely populated country, Finland and finnish citizens are among the most polluting (per capita) on a global scale.
Käyttäkää järkeä, Use common sense
Ilmasto on tärkeä. Climate is important
Nyt on pakko toimia, We must take action NOW
Ilmasto ei odota. Climate does not wait
Pallomme on ainoa, We have only this one Earth
sitä ei voi korvata. It is irreplaceable
Jo riittää spedeily, Enough of stupidity
päästöt alas heti nyt. Down with emissions
Nyt riittää jauhanta, Stop the nonsense
vaadimme ilmastotoimia. We demand climate action
Nyt on aika tajuta, It is about time to realize
ilmasto ei odota. Climate does not wait
Meillä on voimia, We are powerful
pallo tarvii toimia. The Earth needs climate action
Loppu soiden tuholle Stop damaging peatlands
tai pallo menee pilalle. or the Earth will sour
Ilmastomarssi, ilmastolakko. Climate march, climate strike
Seis tämä farssi, nyt on pakko. End this farce before it is too late.
