“Unless world leaders take immediate and coordinated action, modern industry will lock the world into a calamitous temperature rise of up to six degrees C. In such a world, demand for energy, food, and water will overwhelm the planet”
Nov 2011 study from IEA April 2012 study from OECD

Feb 2012 the UN released Resilient People, Resilient Planet: A future worth choosing The 22-member panel said a new blueprint for growth and low-carbon prosperity must be "mainstreamed" into economic policy as quickly as possible By 2030 the planet will need at least 50% more food, 45% more energy and 30% more water.

The globe is warming far, far faster than it ever, up to 11,300 years ago. Over the past 5000 years, the Earth
actually cooled by about 1.3°F…until the last 100 years, when our temperature spiked upwards by about the same amount.

Hurricane Fran, 1996 Category 3 storm, damaged 8.3 million acres of state forest land at total estimated cost of $1.7 billion. For every increase in storm category level, forest damages have been found to rise by approximately $500 million. Furniture and related manufacturing industries that rely on the forestry sector are an integral part of North Carolina’s economy, contributing $3.1 billion in 2005.

Water Flows Uphill To Money
In Midwest farmers pay about $30 for an acre foot of water. Oil and gas companies are paying as much as $1,000-$2,000 for an acre foot.

Flowback Water To Polluted to Use
Water used for fracking is too polluted to be reused and must be disposed of. There are no return flows back into the system.

Global Biodiversity Outlook Three - GBO-3
"We continue to lose biodiversity at a rate never before seen in history - extinction
rates may be up to 1,000 times higher than the historical background rate.”
Earth’s ecosystems may soon reach
"tipping points" where they rapidly become less useful to humanity.

China has replaced the United States as the world's leading consumer of most basic commodities, like oil, grain, coal, and steel.
• If China’s economy grows at its prior rate • If it uses resources as inefficiently as the U.S. • By 2030 China will need 99 million barrels of oil a day. The world currently produces 79 million barrels per day and may never produce more.

Let’s assume that the climate sceptics are right
Don’t go to the casino on those odds
If all that you care about is maximizing profit, you will do exactly what you would do if you were scared to death about climate

6,300 computers and monitors in sleep or standby mode when not in use (24/7). Leave machines on one evening a week for updates and turn them off at the end of the work day: $700,000. US companies waste $2.8 billion a year on 108 million unused PCs. In 2009, these unused PCs will emit 20 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions – the impact of 4 million cars. PC power costs are the largest single factor of IT energy costs and can account for a quarter of the costs in a modern office building.

Deutsche Bank Study: FiTs gave Germany the lead in renewable energy production.
In first 4 years FiTs created 480,000 new jobs FITs cut the unit cost of solar panels 30 percent in
2009 enough that they could pay for themselves within five to seven years, and reach grid parity (costing the same as grid electricity) by 2013.

FiTs drove German economic regeneration, enabling Germany to pay its own citizens to produce, install and maintain their own renewable energy systems, instead of buying imported fossil fuels. The program cost of €2 - 3 per month ($50 to customers’ electricity bills each year) to electricity bills in Germany (a total of €8.6 billion.)
Deutsche Bank: The savings created by FiTs exceeded
total cost of payments made by households. Had customers bought electricity from conventional
generation and paid the costs of fossil fuel generation Germans would have paid over €9.4 billion.

On average, green buildings use 30% less energy than conventional buildings.
In a 100,000-square-foot office building a 30% reduction in energy = $44,000.

“Sustainability isn’t the burden on bottom lines that many executives believe it to be. It can lower your costs and increase your revenues. That’s why sustainability should be a touchstone for all innovation. In the future, only companies that make sustainability a goal will achieve competitive advantage. That means rethinking business models as well as products, technologies and processes.” Why Sustainability is Now the Key Driver of Innovation

Paul Polman
Refusal to report quarterly The ultimate cost of short-termism was the financial crisis of 2008-9. 'Too many investors have become short-term gamblers: the more fluctuations in share price they can engineer, the better it is for them. It is not good for the companies or for society, but it is influencing the way firms are being run, all the same.... To drag the world back to sanity, we need to know why we are here. The answer is: for consumers, not shareholders. If we are in synch with consumer needs and the environment in which we operate, and take responsibility for society as well as for our employees, then the shareholder will also be rewarded'
