Historical energy
production, manufacturing, transportation and
industrial growth have produced emissions that
already threaten our global environment
irrevocably. As global population grows at an
unprecedented rate energy consumption is set
to double by 2050, and with deforestation
seemingly uncontrollable the global annual
greenhouse gas emissions are continuing to
rise. With no reduction rate commitment at
COP15 we are now destined to breach 450ppm CO2
and with that a 2deg C temperature rise,
bringing a collapse of socio- and eco-systems
as we know them.
Despite failure at
Copenhagen, global pressure will force
governments to implement strict low-carbon
policies, hopefully soon. Carbon-sensitive
industries must flourish. Rainforest
protection, reforestation, renewable energy,
energy-efficiency and low-carbon construction
and transport are crucial industries that will
determine the quality of life on this planet
in 100 years time. They must be implemented
now. Invest responsibly.
