Davos: The bosses believe in the fable of global warming and sound the alarm

[GuyGadebois]

Decision makers who say they are worried about the environment

More precisely, the threats weighing on the climate and the environment represent in their eyes all the main risks over the next 10 years, while "economic confrontations" and "domestic political polarization" are recognized as significant risks during 2020. The likelihood of extreme weather events, as well as the inability of governments and the business community to prevent climate change, would be their main long-term concerns.

Respondents are also alarmed by "damage and disasters caused by humans, such as oil leaks or radioactive contaminations". Then come the concern around a "significant loss of biodiversity and a collapse of the ecosystem (terrestrial or marine) with irreversible consequences for the environment, resulting in seriously depleted resources for humanity as well as industries". Finally, in the fifth of the risks classified as the most probable, we find "major natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and geomagnetic storms".

Why specify "the fable" in the title?

Obviously everyone is generally against global warming, it's a story of image! There are just the trump, the old lepen and co who can afford not to be ... given the state of their image, that will not change much ...

Even Chirac was in 2002: we remember the house is burning, which could have made the news given the fires in Australia!

Only between fine words and beliefs ... and concrete actions, there is a chasm ...

It's a bit like Manu ... pure pipochio!

ps: you still zapped the button insert an image ...

Wait for the facts before talking about greenwashing, if the goal is to take into account the carbon footprint, the depletion of resources, the safeguarding of biodiversity ..., then yes these companies have a future.

It is also true that with a title without tail or head, there is no risk of moving in the right direction.

Me at the pinocchio price I am interested in bad students who are not awarded those with the donkey cap on the stake in a corner

As I posted on FS:

It's normal that they think that, if they have the same advisers as our former minister of ecology.

To have the end of the story:

the interesting is not the tweet but the comments, and in particular the link on it:

Funny to see a herald of THE SCIEEEENNNCE say absolutely anything in front of a journalist who quietly reminds him of objective figures. It should be said that Abnousse Shalmani is not cold in the eyes, feminist of a family which escaped the Iranian mullahs, she saw others in my opinion, and is not particularly impressed, nor by the fundamentalists nor by more or less macho threats.

I haven't followed the case, I don't know who the bad guy is ... but this graph seems piped to me: Where are the more than 200 Tsunami dead in 000?

Also at the moment, there is a beautiful famine in progress in Yemen, it does not appear on this graph which stops in 2016 ...
