I think Mr. Roberts' comments urging companies to increase efficiency ring true to many business leaders.

However, I fear he loses people with his doomsday comments.

“If we continue to indulge our appetites, and we continue to purse a model of production that is inefficient, we face a century when we will see catastrophic and destructive forces we have not seen before," he said.

Well, maybe so, but up to that point you had people jumping on the bandwagon of increasing efficiency and building sustainability.
