Early Warning
We are in brand new territory:
“When you have an El Niño occurring on top of the long-term warming trend, it’s like a double whammy.”—Katharine Hayhoe, chief scientist at The Nature Conservancy.
Any business that does not, as a matter of urgency, become climate literate, is going to experience considerable pain.
“Dartmouth scientists estimated that the 1997-1998 El Niño led to $5.7 trillion in lost gross domestic product the following five years. Their modeling estimates that by the end of this century, El Niños will have blocked some $84 trillion in GDP.”
Climate disruption is real and is coming at us at break neck speed.
How ready are you?
