This excerpt is from a panel presentation at the Business In The Community Ireland Summit on Corporate Responsibility, held in November 2010.

The panel featured experts including James Quincey (The Coca-Cola Company), Sir Stuart Rose (Marks & Spencer), and Gerard O'Neill of Amarach Research.

O'Neill highlighted how marketers' 'pricing trap' hinders sustainability initiatives. He argued that while price accounts for only 30% of a purchase decision, emotion and feelings drive 70%. Emphasizing trust and the social environment is crucial for consumers to move beyond price-driven choices.

On April 15, 2011, the indigenous Purepecha community of Cheran, Michoacan, Mexico, rebelled against organized crime, the logging industry, and corrupt government agencies. They used sticks, rocks, and bottle rockets to resist their "narco-government" that pillaged sacred forests.

Since then, Cheran has ousted all political parties and local/state police, seizing offices, weapons, and vehicles. The community re-established traditional self-governance, featuring a council of elders, a community police ("ronda"), and its "Guarda Bosques" (Forest Keepers) defense team.

Studies indicating historical CO2 levels lag behind temperature have merit, confirms Peter Hildebrand, Director of Earth Science at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. Responding to a question on Twitter, Hildebrand explained that in the pre-industrial age, temperature changes drove CO2 levels; a warmer climate caused the biosphere to emit more CO2.

However, in the post-industrial era, this dynamic has reversed. Now, increasing atmospheric CO2 is leading to higher temperatures, indicating a fundamental shift in the physical-biological processes. For more information, visit Ask A Climate Scientist.
