Andrew Jones reports on the Tällberg “ripple effect" of the networking that flows from the conversations at the Tällberg.

At the Forum 2007 Jim Butcher of Morgan Stanley saw Peter Senge’s presentation (excerpted here) of the bathtub climate simulation. This is a learning tool for understanding the “stock and flow” issue of CO2 in the atmosphere, rendered into an easy to grasp metaphor to understand why we need to reduce CO2 emissions 80% by 2050, explained using an animated simulation of a bathtub that is based on a system dynamics model of the global carbon cycle and climate system.


Drew and Jim subsequently met and hatched a plan to put the simulation in front of Morgan Stanley’s 35,000 employees worldwide. Drew taped his presentation in New York for Morgan Stanley and they share this video with everyone via Google Video. That site is also worth a visit as it presents a number of videos on climate change.

More information on the Carbon Simulator is available here and from the Sustainability Institute.
