Hitting the Wall

I remember being at a management training in LaSaunne a few years ago and we heard a presentation from a highly respected member of the business world working in banking. He said:

"Sometimes in business, (and maybe in life) you find yourself on a bicycle, riding down a steep hill, no brakes...What do you do??

After some discussion, he gave his answer: "You hit the wall."

After hearing so much about global warming, carbon emissions and the need to control them, I found this: showing just how carbon emissions have grown over the past few years. Now, I don't claim to know how this is impacting (or will impact)our global environment, but if the "chicken littles" are correct, then one has to wonder if the world has the will to do what may need to be done about this before it's too late. No brakes?

to be continued...
