The recent controversies surrounding the authenticity of the IPCC reports on what is now termed as the Glaciergate makes me wonder, ‘Are we really over-killing this climate change phenomenon?’
Agreed Al Gore’s Inconvenient Truth is truly spectacular in depicting the dooms day lying ahead of us and so is my town’s weather that is becoming increasingly stupider with its extra heat and cold. I sure can see gas guzzlers all over the streets and hardly anything can stop my country’s ever-growing middle-class families. Many of them are first generation car owners in a society, where owning a car does showcase your strata, and they are yet to be petrified by the perils of traffic or parking nightmares.
Is this turning out into a Convenient Opportunity? While we are struggling to get hybrid automobiles and alternate energy sources into our lifestyle, there are hordes of consulting companies and agencies ready to share their wisdom on measuring my carbon footprint to predicting the doomsday to advising how Green you can get!
On that note came this interesting topic by Jim Heskett in HBS and with my comments on that.
I do think so; people are getting crazy with the eco-friendly stuff and there is a huge market for it. But, the problems do seem real.
I am responsible for one such green consulting job and we appear to be doing really well. people have not yet understood the harmful effects of climate change. It will change overtime.
