Flawed climate change operations

 CNBC:

Companies are on the hot seat to respond to climate change like never before, but most corporate leaders don’t have the tools necessary to meet those pledges, said Microsoft President Brad Smith last week at the inaugural Breakthrough Energy Summit in Seattle.

“By our count, 3,470 companies around the world have signed up for a climate pledge,” said Smith. “That shows that an awareness and good intentions have literally spread around the world. Now, what’s bad: there does not yet exist the capacity for most — for almost any company — to, with confidence, turn that pledge into the progress that has been promised.”

Smith was on stage at the conference hosted by Breakthrough Energy, the climate-innovation company launched by Bill Gates, who famously co-founded Microsoft in 1975 and became extraordinarily wealthy from the tech company’s success.

Smith likened the gap between good intentions and executable change to corporate pledges about diversity, which he’s been looking at for the past couple of decades.

The good news is that these meaningless pledges are mostly not needed anyway.  The climate change predictions have been exaggerated at best.  The global warming predictions have been serially wrong for decades.  In case you have noticed the poles are still not ice-free and coastal cities are still not underwater but both were predicted to have happened by now.
