Women Are Natural Leaders

DEAR ALEXIA You say that women are natural leaders. Are the ones that lead, high achievers, or do these women leaders emerge from events that drive them to it? – | Curious | DEAR CURIOUS, The answer is both. Yes, if the goal is diplomacy, collaboration and cooperation between citizens, communities, and nations, then my work shows that women are natural born leaders. In times of war, men lead. A balance of male-female leadership is what is absent in most HOT spots around the world today. This lack of balance in the U.S. Congress, for example, can create GRIDLOCK. Those women tagged “high achievers” have simply developed daily habits that help them focus on their goals. Those who are driven to lead by certain events have “a fire in the belly” that won’t be extinguished until their goal is met. In both cases, those who are successful leaders set up daily habits that help them focus on their goal.

Does Human Survival Require The Collapse of 90 Companies?

As the first accredited blogger for the United Nations on climate change (UNFCCC – Bali 2007) my stories hit the news media first. Now, I’d focus on this report: Nearly two-thirds of carbon dioxide & methane emissions can be attributed to 90 entities. Of emissions, half has been emitted since 1986.  To date, discussion and policy-making (also embed in the UNFCCC structure) is a focus on nation-states. However, when we take a look at who the major carbon producers are, we discover a simple, elegant, useful tool for future social and legal pressure. The entities reported by author Richard Heede hold two important assets—production capacity and proven recoverable reserves. When this is taken together with profit motives and tax and regulatory incentives that encourage them to discover and produce new fossil fuel reserves, hold the key to future fossil fuel production and emissions and thus, arguably, the future of the planetary climate system. Energy companies have strong financial incentives to produce and market their booked reserves and oppose efforts to leave their valuable assets in the ground but social and legal pressures may shift these incentives. Without minimizing the responsibility of developed nations, nor of China and India, Heede’s list includes the role of nations, such Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Mexico, Iran, Kuwait, Abu Dhabi, Libya, Nigeria, Indonesia, Brazil, and other countries that have not been at the center of discussions regarding responsibility for controlling emissions. Viewed in this light, what are the ethical, political, and legal arguments that could be enlisted or made mandatory to require these carbon majors to limit further dangerous interference with the climate system?
