climate conferences of the UN, which have a bad reputation: There is a lot of talk, and then hardly traded. The same reproach applies to the world economic forum in Davos: If the heads of state and business leaders meet in the snow, to advise how to prevent "the climate Apocalypse" is, is absurd.

it is however, just the Act and not to act in politics and business, the taxes us deeper into the climate crisis. Because it also helps not much, if these elites to compensate for the CO2 emissions of the event and to the attention of the discussion, "The 21. Century“ and listen to survive.

The debate could end here: green hypocrites in the white Davos. It starts here first. Firstly, the Meeting shows that companies are similarly reversed hard-to-like States; only a few Chefs manage to get rid of your tried-and-tested business model as seriously and quickly as is required of fossil raw materials. Where the policy is dependent on votes, will depend on the economy at a Profit. Business bosses think that they could solve the problems better than politicians, that is unrealistic. Proved you don't have it, at least not yet.

a CEO can read balance sheets, but also the climate balance sheets. To ignore the science, the business model

endangered Secondly, the Potemkin shows cal Ecovillage Davos that Board members respond to pressure from the outside at least as sensitive as governments. A couple of Demos against the hallowed company logo, is already an atmosphere of crisis prevails. On the streets, in the courts and in the sale of their products, companies have many sensitive Spots. Who wants the protection of climate, can generate pressure.

And, finally, shows the sudden Bloom of the forum: capitalists do not believe in ideas, but in Numbers. The Executive heads are able to read balance sheets, but also the climate balance sheets. To ignore the science their business model being compromised. As soon as the "More so" more expensive than the "we can Change us", they move quickly.

when this point is reached, depends on how to make his billion – the chief of an Internet group can be easier to the Eco as rampage at Apache wells. On the other hand, policy and civil society to decide. You can drive by the laws and protests the award for the climate, dirt and at the same time, the incentives for real change zoom.

There are the concepts, the Knowledge and the money. But only if the "Survival in the 21st century. Century,“ Central to the cost-Benefit analysis of companies, can Davos make a difference. If not, should the visitors prefer to Ski. As long as in the Alps are still covered in snow.
