Vast Investments Could Cut Pollution And Provide Profit

When you receive the Seal you will see global warming as the sign of the end-times. You will be interested in a new study showing profits can be earned while cutting emissions half the amount needed to stabilize the greenhouse gas levels. McKinsey and Company published a report Thursday February 14 2008 detailing how investing in energy efficiency will make profits for investors while reducing greenhouse gas emissions considerably.

McKinsey figures if $170 billion were spent globally on energy efficiency each year there would be a profit with that investment of 17 percent, or $29 billion. And they are not figuring anything difficult to do.

These are the energy-efficiency measures they claim could be implemented quickly and at minimal cost. And just by saving energy like this carbon dioxide emissions would be cut nearly half the amount needed to stop global warming.

Carbon dioxide is blamed for being a greenhouse gas, trapping in the heat of the sun but not letting it escape, much like a greenhouse. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says the gas needs to rise no higher than 550 parts per million.

McKinsey claims some of the energy-saving measures are able to return 10 percent or more on the investment. And those measures would save as much energy as 64 million barrels of oil a day.

The McKinsey Global Institute says the most inefficient industry in the world is Chinese heavy industry. But the second most inefficient is residential housing in the United States.

Many US houses are known for being large and not insulated very well. So they demand a lot of heating in the winter and cooling in the summer. And often the residents do not adjust the thermostats when nobody will be inside the houses for hours.

The world has been steadily warming now for 20 years. Several of these years have been the hottest years in a century. Natural disasters are on the rise along with the temperatures.

There are more floods and droughts happening now, more wildfires and windstorms. And those experienced are not just more frequent but more severe. This is happening all over the world.

And while there is some hope investors can buy into energy efficiency and the political climate changing in 2008 with the US presidential elections, only time will be bought. A real solution is unlikely soon enough to save the world.

There is a consensus among modern scientists these greenhouse gases are warming the world. But there is also agreement with these scientists from Jesus Christ Himself. Jesus taught about the end of the world.

He taught the simple parable of the fig tree. When the fig tree starts to blossom, you know that summer is near. That “summer” is how Jesus described the end of the world. And that is what is happening now, spring, fall, and winter becoming more like summer.

When you are sealed you will see global warming as the sign of the end-times. The fig tree is blossoming. The summer is approaching. Just like Jesus predicted and many scientists confess today.

When you are sealed you will prepare yourself to meet God. You have no more posterity in this world. You can not leave any legacy to anyone anymore but you can make your eternal home in Heaven when you receive the Seal.
