This month, in their June meeting the NYSIA gives an overview of the current status of climate change technology, with a special emphasis on how those of us in the digital industries can play a positive role while realizing new business opportunities. The development of low-emission engines and renewable, clean sources of energy must be accelerated. Computer modeling and measuring and networking coordination are just some of the areas where the IT community can play an important role in one of the most important issues facing us for the next 50 years. The movement to alleviate climate change presents both responsibilities and possibilities for software and computing entrepreneurs. Computer modeling and measuring, resulting in gains in energy efficiency, is just one example. Human technology, in particular the internal combustion engine and coal-fired power plants, have greatly contributed to global climate change and global warming. Do you think technology can play a role in reversing the situation? Find out this Monday and attend the NYSIA meeting. Registration for non-members is $30.
