Nestlé CEO: Let God Handle Global Warming
Climate change threatens one of the single most crucial ingredients at Nestlé, the world's largest food company. The post Nestlé CEO:...




In an interview with The Guardian, Nestlé Chairman Peter Brabeck argued against climate action, arguing the change in global temperature is natural and cyclical — a familiar point from the climate denier playbook. He worried that confronting the issue is similar to humans playing “God”:

Climate change is an intrinsic part of the development of the world. Since the world has existed we have had climate changes and we will have climate change as long as the world exists … For me the issue is more about what can we do in order to adapt to climate change and perhaps to try to gain more time … Are we God to say the climate, as it is today, is the one we have to keep? That’s the way it’s going to be? We are not God. What we have to assure is that climate change happens within a timeframe that humankind can adapt to.

If too much CO2 emission is accelerating climate change in a manner that will take away the possibility for us to adapt to it then we have a problem, but what I think is wrong to say is that we are going to stop climate change today. It’s not the natural approach. What we have to get to grips with is the speed with which climate change is happening and to have the same speed for us to adapt to it.

1. Fine, you do that. Meanwhile, in reality we will continue to address the problem.

Why do these idiot CEO's think we care what they have to say? They're not elected, their opinion is exactly as important as the opinion of my downstairs neighbor.

2. Okay then.

The problem will be addressed regardless of his opinion.
