This morning my employer required that I attend an online seminar on global warming at which the presenter was a fellow named Jamais Cascio. Anybody familiar with him or his background? Anyhow, he started by blaming AGW for a southern hemisphere hurricane, the recent southern California wildfires, melting arctic ice, and future wars over diminishing arable land. He then went on to describe the many futuristic ways we can save the planet by harnassing human activity. I guess Cascio didn't get this memo. Fortunately for my career longevity we were not set up to provide real time feedback so I was able to bite my tongue for the most part. I'm just discouraged that private industry is infected with this snake oil.
What do you do that your employer feels it necessary to waste money and time (money) on such non-essential training? I have to do so much dang training for my job that is directly job related, there isn’t time to do any other silliness.
