Global Warming needs Interim Managers
Why you ask? Well let's face it global warming is here to stay and no thinking individual believes we're not already past the point of no return with global temperature set to rise at least 3'C over the next few decades and probably much more.
So wild seas rising to consume most of the southeast, eastern and central England (just think what that will do to your house price) are certain. What we need now are Interims (who make excellent project managers) employed in their thousands by the government to plan the implementation of significant sea defences to protect the endemic population.
By the way- don't expect HMG to do anything about our carbon outputs and halt the 3'+ rise, despite the talk most folk in the UK have not woken up to the armaggedon looming for humans and even those that have are disinclined to change their lifestyle by the massive amount needed today to stop the 3'C plus rise. So they are not pushing the government to do something - indeed it is all of us that has to 'do something' - NOW, not the government.
We would need to immediately start living like we did in the 1940's to achieve the 80% reduction in carbon emissions needed by 2050 (only 40 years away - many of us may still be here!!) ie no car, no flying, no central heating, no electrical gadgets in the kitchen etc.
Don't expect technology to save us - it won't. Relying on wind farms, photo cells and solar panels is as likely to save our annihilation as a species as the boom in China (if it exists) is likely to save us from another depression. It won't happen.
Besides, the carbon emitted to build and maintain this technology almost ensures that the 3'C will be hit!...think about it.
No - let's accept were going to be flooded and millions in southern Europe and further afield will be displaced and board ships to travel (and try to settle) in England and northern Europe.
Put Interim Managers to work today to help mitigate the inevitable crisis which is tomorrow!
