A Corporate view of global warming
An article that I found in The Independent highlights some issues that a survey, that should be published this week sometime, has brought up. In this article it gives certain statistics like, “9 in 10 organizations do not rate climate change as a concern (from 500 business located from Britain, the US, Germany, Japan, India and China)”, “4 out of 5 businesses want the governments to take the central role”, “5% of all surveyed (and not 1 in China) said that global warming was a top priority, & only 11% put it in 2 or 3 place”, “Overall it ranked 8th behind issues like increasing sales, REDUCING COSTS!!!, developing new products and services, competing for staff, securing growth in new markets, innovation and technology”, “1 in 5 companies have done nothing to reduce their emissions”.

That is pretty sad that these organizations ranked this way. Their eyes are on the profit more than anything else, it makes me and I’m sure others think that were just as much to blame as them; we do buy the products they sell, only furthering their expansion and ability to pollute. I just hope the world wakes up before it’s too late, the damage done already should be a pretty big indicator.
