I want to turn to the 40 trillion dollar technology boom
I what it means for you because I think this is an incredibly
exciting time for any organization that fits into this picture
and your strategy surely does now
will get a look at some data summer that data may be contested
and debated by different people but you know what
the data for example about global warming
is simply a best guess about what the world might be like
in the year two thousand one hundred by which time most best
won't be here if you want to know
the future your cooperation you want to know the future
government policy you want to know the future taxation and incentives
and consumer pressure then we need to look
not at the best guess about what the sideshows
by 2100 but we need to look at the passions people fear
and the police they have about the data I'm gonna show you
and ask ourselves a question about whether less passions are getting
stronger
about the data or whether they're getting weak like they have a look at a
few things
first aid never will be so many children alive ever again probably in human
history
but all the while the adults in the next eighteen years
and all of them will see your lifestyle in one way or another
even its and even if it's in someone else's smart and fast car driving
through that poor rural village
whether living in my past all that will aspire
to some kinda development and many of them will get it
and this single fact alone will drive
many other pressures we're gonna see on resources
couple with a second fact which is we're seeing
the biggest migration from remote rural areas in two cities that the world has
ever seen
I was talking to some friends from China
last night and you know what in Africa
was seeing similar in China 300 million people
will move into cities by 2020 more people than today
all other will demand no *** infrastructure
in India we will see some 400
and 30 million people live into cities
in the next 10 all twelve years once again
pacing unimaginable stresses and strains on infrastructure
because most of them will arrive to create shantytowns
and slum type I dwellings and then the infrastructure will need to catch up
here is another fact now we can debate its significance
but in the United States alone and the same is true of the European Union
last year it is thought that if we were to capture all the carbon dioxide
emissions
from all activity in the United States and again the same in the european unity
and laid them out on the in Thailand massive the world
woodland up with an additional blanket around this thick
of carbon dioxide across every centimeter
on land mass de *** that's a different question
here is another interesting
gruff this is a serious a ice core samples
in the ice going back around 430,000 she is
and in the red you see co2 levels
I just want you to notice up pretty big changes
now when they got down to I the last on the cup down
this last hope most in the area Germany was covered by hot model ice
okay just take but in this context that at the moment we r
of the edge of the highest limit but
ever been sayin by any the ice cores by the way we capture carbon dioxide in
these ice crystals
pic when you defrost these ice crystals you get to measure how much carbon
dioxide the laws
in the atmosphere when there's ice crystals were created okay
now
I can't tell you the significance is this all I can tell you and on the
position
is the carbon dioxide is a very important gas
and in fact 11 inside your body changes your physiology
hugely if I increase a five-percent just your carbon dioxide levels in your blood
you'd know about it you big %uh spin for breath
carbon dioxide is a very important guest
just look how much it's risen in the last 30 years from there
to their I can't tell you what that means
I have no idea what that means for the future humankind a climate I have no
idea
I can tell you what some people think my question is how much higher do you think
that red lines gonna go what do you think
look at this trajectory at the moment what do you think
put your hands up if you think it's gonna go outside the range this slide in
the next 30 years
okay but hands up if you think it could double
a gain the distance that it's gonna bobbitt's media as medium level where
and the next 100 years
put your hands up if you think that could be very significant the climate
change
now some you lopping but I tell you it's perfectly permissible to have
wide-ranging views about this
but the important thing is this know what your view or minus
for the future strategy important question is another one
400,000 square miles about two guys melted in 30 years doesn't matter
here's another fact in China in 20 years
18,000 square miles ice melted 3,000 out to four thousand Tibetans legs just
disappear
Yellow River dried up recently forced six to seven months does it matter
it surely does here's another fact when all prices go up of
one hundred dollars a barrel you have the most and compelling case
for whole range in intensive energy saving measures that do not make
business sense
otherwise the fact is that the oil price today's 123
dollars a barrel and the oil prices remained above one hundred dollars a
barrel for
over 365 consecutive days
put your hands up with you think as a result up commodity pressures
demographic pressures emerging market growth
but the all prices are likely to stay above one hundred dollars about the most
the next decade put your hands up everything that's true
you now know what the strategy is a everyone to the company's
around the world when it comes to energy which is
whether they think up going green is it morally right or not it's certainly a
very good business
