Mitchell Levy has the privilege and pleasure of talking to thousands of business executives annually who share their views and predictions on coming events. This year, we begin a new tradition of making annual predictions on the hottest topic (pun intended) these days – 'Global Warming' which is storming to the forefront of the world's headlines. As you plan for the coming year's activities and as you take all possible inputs into consideration towards carving a sustainable business or undertaking, we believe that these collated answers to our questions will give you the right perspective towards becoming a truly global citizen.

2007 was a turning point in the consciousness of the planet. It was a turning point where we no longer asked the question "Is Global Warming real?," but perceived Global Warming as reality. Ok, so if we now believe (or most of us do) what can we do about it? Some answers are contained in this book. The real answers, however, will unfold over the next couple of years. We need to act, we need to invest, we need to change, we need to invest in protecting the future…

The following questions were asked: What are your thoughts on Global Warming? Is it real? What should we do about it? The results are interesting. We've clumped the data into six categories and have presented the quotes in these chunks:

• 1. No Hope
• 2. Strong Case
• 3. Yes, but ...
• 4. No, but ...
• 5. Call to Action
• 6. Suggestions/Predictions

We hope you enjoy reading these quotes as much as we did and they help you get a feeling for the executive view on this key question regarding the long-term survival of the planet.
