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”.

An Introduction

This blog is meant to not only inform people on what global warming is, but also to present both historical and present evidence for global warming, current news, and ways for individuals to get involved/change their ways of living.

 This is not an issue that effects just one person, or one nation, but rather…the entire world. Some may say that global warming is “a hoax”, “something thought up by people that want to cause global chaos” or at least that’s what many of us were told in the beginning. In fact, global warming (also the idea of the “Green House Effect”) is not a recent issue, but was actually first brought up in the 1950’s when Guy Stewart Callendar presented his “Callendar Effect” (specifically the combustion of carbon and its effect on the climate).
