Rochester, New York Jun 28, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - Introducing "GEO-X: How 10 Big Firms Can Lead Us to End Global Warming" ' a must-read book for executives who care about global warming. This book proposes an audacious solution to reverse and end global warming ' at the least economic cost and by the date of our choosing.
"GEO-X" examines the political obstacles to ending global warming and concludes that governments will probably never overcome them. The book describes the weaknesses of existing regulatory systems, and how they slow emissions but fail to incentivize true net zero operations, much less the enormous carbon removal required to reverse global warming. The book explains the failures of the carbon removal markets, especially the moral hazard that often results in fraud.
To solve all of these problems simultaneously, "GEO-X" proposes a bold three-part solution.
First, a coalition of willing firms could start a Global Emissions and Offset Exchange (GEO-X) to trade emissions permits and carbon removal contracts. Participating firms would end business with non-participating firms. The result would likely be a rush to join through the global supply chain.
Second, GEO-X would strengthen the carbon removal market with contracts backed up by modern data and biological simulation. GEO-X would not pay for reducing emissions, but only for removing carbon from the air.
Third, GEO-X would clear the carbon market with a state-of-art auction mechanism that prices a hard deadline on global warming. This auction mechanism appears to be the most efficient emissions trading system ever designed.
GEO-X would not need government to start, but would benefit from government cooperation. Governments could require businesses within their jurisdiction to participate in GEO-X, accelerating global participation.
"GEO-X" calls senior business executives to tackle global warming head-on. Where government cannot act, the business could succeed ' if a few executives take the initiative. Get it now and send it to your boss!

3/5 stars Taika Waititi, the Oscar-winning filmmaker behind Jojo Rabbit (2019), brings his trademark quirk to Klara and the Sun, a sunny-side-up sci-fi fable that occasionally delivers flashes of darkness. Based on Kazuo Ishiguro’s 2021 novel of the same name, the film is set in a future where AI companions are the norm. The effervescent Klara (Jenna Ortega) is one such android, albeit a discontinued B1 model now being hawked from a city discount store. Klara’s escape comes when a young girl,...

Fu Hao is one of the earliest documented female military generals in history, yet relatively little is known about her. Most of the information gathered about her life is from her tomb. One thing we do know is that she lived during the Shang dynasty (1600BC-1046BC), before the unification of China. Fu’s tomb was excavated in 1976. Its contents led archaeologists to conclude she was a high-ranking royal consort and military general who commanded some of the largest armies of her time. So, who...
