(1,553 posts)nature allows through a gentle climate, for corporations to exist. With a climate in chaos, how long will corporate profits survive, without profits, what is the attraction or need for corporations?
If this art represents an exact scale of the relationship between corporations and nature, I think one has to question the parameters of the supposed relationship. Corporations are an socioeconomic tool to harvest the bounty of nature. However, nature makes the rules and creates the boundaries within which corporations are allowed to function. Nature cannot be defied and she also bats last. CEO's cannot match her fury, when global mean temperatures rise a mere 6-8*C above her gentle corporate friendly environment.
From this perspective, any relationship corporations have to nature is certainly subservient, and I might add, in peril.
