Rear Admiral David Titley’s “Ted Talk” on Climate Change

Virtually every time I meet with my client Jim Greenberg, Chief Strategy officer at the OTEC Corporation, he mentions Rear Admiral David Titley’s “Ted Talk” on climate change, and I characteristically wince when I realize that again, I’ve forgotten to check it out.  No more!  Here it is, and yes, Jim, it’s very worthwhile.  Titley, the U.S. Navy’s head oceanographer, describes the process whereby he went from a skeptic to a believer, and provides numerous other top-line facts about the effects of the melting of the arctic ice, sea-level rise, etc.

Regarding taking action to mitigate climate change, Titley says, “In the military, if you wait until you’re absolutely certain that you’re in grave danger, you’re already dead.”   Something to think about, even for us non-military types.
