#2Chouinard is one classy dude. It's a shame that the US legal system ruined his climbing company. I still have a sentimental old ice harness with the proper diamond logo. It inspires me to see him still doing things his way.

#6It's a demonstrable fact that Carbon Dioxide as a % of the Earth's atmosphere is increasing, and virtually all serious models predict that it will have a significant impact on the planet's average temperature and other characteristics.
But there's a big prisoner's dilemma emerging over it, especially as globalism appears to be breaking down between the West and Russia/China. When trade and diplomacy erode to the point of a cold war between the two factions, there's nothing that can be used as leverage to prevent the other parties from cheating on climate agreements.
The West can try to tackle climate change in its own countries, but if the actions it takes puts them at a economic/military disadvantage to Russia/China, then it might do far more harm to the future of a free, non-totalitarian world than climate change could.

De-globalization will slow down economy, human activities, resulting in less pollution, less production. As long as there are no world wars, or any war for that matter, I'm all for de-globalization.

The way scientists are hunting down methane leaks and CFC cheaters using satellites gives me hope. Even in the cold war, there were nuclear test bans enforced using monitoring technology.

#10This reminds me of Bosch. The majority of the company is owned by the Robert Bosch Stiftung [1] which gets the most of the profit (after reinvestments into the company) to fund educational projects in the sense of Robert Bosch. In my opinion it's a nice concept to use the profits for things that benefit us. There are still other people in charge of advisories but they don't profit from it.
Let us hope that more companies follow the path of Bosch and Patagonia.
