It is a very well known example every science teacher loves to give. You take a frog in a vessel full of water ans start heating it. Frog being cold blooded animal does not realise the change in heat and gets cooked in the process. Our vessel is also getting heated up. Hardly anyone would have realised it but for the media, but for the not so weak environmental lobby.
Love for comfort. Love for statusquo. Fear of the unknown. We are quite like frog, choosing to be unaware of our discomfort. We need substantial heating up before our inertia is broken. No issues - only question is will we have enough time once we collectively overcome the inertia.
What we are going to see in 2015 may take us all unprepared. There may be new laws cutting down industrial production levels, there may be laws cutting down our vehicle emission, out water usage, electricy usage. Our earning capability may not be in line with the requirement on 2015. We will be older by eight more years, and sudden change in the economic dynamics may take us unawares.
Well my friend - I am not choosing to speak like environmentalist. It is more like economic forecaster. We need to be prepared for that day in 2015.
