Skeptic finds he now agrees global warming is real – Yahoo! News
So the long-term denier Muller has finally decided that there really is global worming. Duh.At least as important is that the funding is by Koch Foundation. It looks like they will stand behind the findings and push on for more research as to the cause of global warming.Apparently Muller has a presentation on Monday and is preparing for peer-review publication of 4 articles on the research.That is why I really like approaching the whole issue from the perspective of “Sustainability”. If it can’t be done in the long term (like population growth, deficits, fossil fuels) then it is not sustainable. We/you/me have to start planning to change our evil ways, now at a time of our choosing… or later at a time that is much less convenient and likely far more expensive. Ouch! or Double Ouch!:-(Thanks to Jim H for bringing this up… -

Over-innovation-makes-us-firms-suck-at-sustainability
Interesting article. Three BIG reasons why we in the USoA companies are not being sustainable with our Over-Innovation ways.
I think the short-term focus is a Big one. Focus on the immediate sell of the immediate product is probably the underlying problem more than any other.
