This sixty-minute live Executive Briefing addresses the most important elements of climate change, peak oil and how they affect each other. It includes a fifteen-minute question and answer period at the end with the presenter. Questions that we'll answer include:

Climate Change

  • What is driving climate change?
  • Why are so many scientists saying the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) underestimated the near-term impact of global temperature rise?
  • What is the critical error that the IPCC was warned about but made anyway?

Peak Oil

  • What is Hubbert's Peak and who was Hubbert?
  • How do we know oil is peaking? Haven't there been predictions of peaking before?
  • Why is oil so hard to replace in our economy?
  • What are the major global forces increasing the price of oil?
  • What are the alternatives to oil? Why is natural gas next? Do we really have 150 years of coal left?
  • Where is your business most vulnerable to ever-increasing energy prices in the future?

Peak Oil and Climate Change

  • What impact will declining fossil fuel availability have on global average temperature?

Preparing for a Carbon-Constrained World

  • Why do we recommend that your business not buy carbon offsets? Why should it not participate in a carbon market if it's not mandatory for your industry sector?
  • Why is Governor Schwarzenegger likely to use the economic escape clause in AB32, the carbon emissions legislation he signed into law?
  • What are the most important elements you should have in your Carbon Reduction Plan?
