A friend's advisor on why carbon hogs might end up in jail

Dr. Edgar Blanco from MIT 's Engineering Systems Division (my alma mater!) was recently interviewed by Forbes on the potential for criminal charges for top executives failing to properly account for CO2 emissions, thanks to good old Sarbanes-Oxley... A bit far-fetched, quite scary, but a very interesting perspective. And huh, big news: we won't curb atmospheric CO2 concentration under 550ppm without some serious incentives.

The paper is here ('Here comes Carbox' ). I think the guy is the advisor of a good friend of mine (to be checked). Update:  not directly - he just works at the same lab. Close enough!

And in an effort to spread a bit of color on this blog, I can't resist to print the new logo of our beloved ESD:
