Preparing for a Carbon-Constrained World

Are you prepared for peak oil, the point at which we've used half the easy-to-get oil and prices rise dramatically?
Do you even know when peak oil is expected to arrive?

It is becoming clearer every day that we will be facing peak oil at the same time we are dealing with climate change.

How is peak oil going to change the future of energy in this country? Is it going to be regulation, like California's Global Warming Solutions Act (AB32), or scarcity that is going to make energy more expensive — or both? With the recent increase in oil price, it's important to know how to prepare your businesses properly.>

This forty-five minute live Executive Briefing addresses the most important elements of climate change, peak oil and how they affect each other. It includes a fifteen-minute Q&A period at the end with the presenter.

Questions that we'll answer include:

Climate Change

What is driving climate change?
Why are so many scientists saying the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) underestimated the impact of near-term global temperature rise?
What is the critical error that the IPCC was warned about but made anyway?

Peak Oil

What is Hubbert's Peak and who was Hubbert?
How do we know oil is peaking? Haven't there been predictions of peaking before?
Why is oil so hard to replace in our economy?
What are the major global forces increasing the price of oil?
What are the alternatives to oil? Do we really have 150 years of coal left? Why is natural gas next?
Where is your business most vulnerable to ever-increasing energy prices in the future?
