Levy M., Mudhol J. (Eds.) Executive Thoughts on Global Warming: Over 40 Views on What to Do!
Hаppy Abоut, 2008, 74 pages

Mitchell Levy has the privilege and pleasure of talking to thousands of business executives annually who share their views and predictions on coming events. This year, we begin a new tradition of making annual predictions on the hottest topic (pun intended) these days - 'Global Warming' which is storming to the forefront of the world's headlines. As you plan for the coming year's activities and as you take all possible inputs into consideration towards carving a sustainable business or undertaking, we believe that these collated answers to our questions will give you the right perspective towards becoming a truly global citizen.
2007 was a tuing point in the consciousness of the planet. It was a tuing point where we no longer asked the question "Is Global Warming real?," but perceived Global Warming as reality. Ok, so if we now believe (or most of us do) what can we do about it? Some answers are contained in this book. The real answers, however, will unfold over the next couple of years. We need to act, we need to invest, we need to change, we need to invest in protecting the future.
