CA next week will unveil an integrated sustainability suite designed to track carbon emissions, environmental assessments, metering, and compliance to policies in one dashboard.

CA calls the suite EcoSoftware and will launch it Monday, according to Christopher Thomas, vice president of energy and sustainability. I ran into Thomas at the Gartner IT Symposium, where the carbon-monitoring software caught my eye.

There are other efforts designed to track carbon emissions. For instance, Hara and SAP have various applications and others use metering to measure sustainability efforts.

Is this a joke? Track carbon emissions? Global warming is just some bull crap that the environmentalist and the government made up so they can captialize and make money. Cap and trade(tax) is just another way the government can tax us. The Earth is actually cooling according to real scientists. Al Gore go and **** yourself.

Yeah that makes sense. That's why the Bush Administration had some very interesting ties to the oil industry... Hey you know what, how about we send your kid over to Iraq?

@Robbie_Inc

Why are you picking on kewell82 and why involve his/her son in this? And he/she could be right on this. I personally of the exact same opinion - it is a cleverly crafted myth and everyone and their brother are trying to cash in while everyone is still gullible. Don't believe it, don't, but don't just randomly criticize. All the same, here's a link to a CNET article about the EPA conveniently quashing a detailed scientific report contradicting global warming. Enjoy!
