A recent clipping in an English Daily says,“The pace of global warming is likely to be much faster than recent predictions, because industrial greenhouse gas emissions have increased more quickly than expected and higher temperatures are triggering self-reinforcing feedback mechanisms in global ecosystems.” If the nature had a Dow, with global warming increasing its pace, it would be on an all time low.

“We are looking now at a future climate that’s beyond anything we’ve considered seriously in climate model simulations,” says Christopher Field, director of the Carnegie Institution’s Department of Global Ecology at Stanford University, in the same article1. If the current financial crisis is serious, the future is horrendous. The world’s best scientists have been warning — that climate change is happening faster and will bring bigger changes quicker than anticipated. Ironically market and the nature hitting the wall at once, is a sign that we need to find better ways to be more sustainable.
