Peak Oil, Climate Change and Business

It looks like peak oil is going to arrive right when we are getting ready to battle climate change. This raises a whole new set of questions:

• Which do you prepare for first?
• How is peak oil going to change the future of energy in this country?
• Is it going to be regulation or scarcity that is going to make energy more expensive — or both?

With the recent increase in oil price, it's important to know how to prepare your businesses properly.

This sixty-minute live online Executive Briefing addresses the most important elements of climate change, peak oil and how they affect each other. It includes a fifteen-minute Q&A 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 impact of near-term global temperature rise?

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? Do we really have 150 years of coal left? Why is natural gas next?
• 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?
• 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?

This Executive Briefing is offered at no cost and spots are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

This webinar really tied it all together...excellent.
