Support for ProPG comes from Chevrolet, the development of the automobile started in the 18th century with the invention of the first steam-powered vehicle.

Since that day, inventors and companies have pushed for innovation in the people moving business.

From performance and safety technologies to an all-electric future, Chevrolet is one of those automotive companies that has been making cars for everyone for over a hundred years.

And now, they are looking to make electric vehicles for everyone too, even some of the most popular and top-selling models, including the Silverado Equinox and Blazer will be available as EVs later this year.

Welcome to the ProPG Pod's Office Hours. This is the part of the show where we answer your question about business, big tech, entrepreneurship, and whatever else is on your mind, you feel like to submit a question.

Please email the voice recording to officehours at propgmedia.com. Again, that's officehours at propgmedia.com. I have not heard or seen these questions. Question number one.

Hi, propg. Luke here, all the way from Rotterdam to Netherlands. First of all, thank you for the great content that you are making. Your podcast, make me reflect on the world and on what I do, and it is a great thing.

So thank you. My question around the IPCC report that was published recently in March 23, I've read quite a bit on it now, and I find the scenarios that are presented very disturbing.

Given that me and my wife have two little boys that I want to see growing up in a safe and livable world. Following the report, cutting back on emissions and pollution to get to a safer scenario will have massive impact on businesses and our lives, especially in a developed world, the US, Europe, and China.

It sort of offers a prisoners dilemma, whereas highly unpopular measures need to be taken that politicians are not always willing to take.

Say cutting back on flights, meet consumption, production, and so on. Somehow, I don't get the feeling that the report has been big news. I see media largely ignoring it and haven't heard anything on your podcast.

How do you look at this? Do we look away because the truth is too confronting? How do we get out of this prisoners dilemma? And how can we look at the future more positively as it seems that we are driving towards a cliff at 200 kilometers an hour?

Thank you for your thoughts and keep up the good work.

Looge from Rotterdam, Netherlands, so just some data first, the report released in March by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the IPCC that you refer to found that the world is likely to surpass 1.5 degrees Celsius or 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit above.

Pre-industrial temperatures by the early 2030s.

Well, that may not sound like a lot. Once we get to that point, climate disasters will become so extreme that people will not be able to adapt.

This irreversible damage will cause famines, infectious disease, heat waves.

There was some good news. I don't know if they were just trying to not come across as total Debbie Downers or EORs, but IPCC chair, who sung Lee?

I think I'm getting that right. This report offers hope and it provides a warning.

According to him, the changes we make now will have a great impact.

I get a lot of criticism. One of the questions I get when I speak at conferences, I cover kind of an omnibus of issues, whether it's income inequality or struggling young men.
