Who are interested in learning. Who want to let the chips fall whereever they may (including publishing tests that go "against skepticism" it that is what data says.) <BR/><BR/>Like John V, like Mosh Pit. Like Burger. Like Zorita.

Yes, they know Climate change is real, have known for a long time, but shedding doubt for years has allowed them to keep squeezing what they can out of selling/making/exploring for products that cause global damage, then buying time through staged denial to set in place some new product.<BR/><BR/>Like you said, it's becoming too difficult to deny and be taken seriously, so better to cultivate some goodwill.<BR/><BR/><BR/>And sure, the corporate sector has a right to contribute to the policy debate. They play a big role in shaping our economy and we global warming alarmists do know that whatever changes are made to minimize the impact of GW must include economic concerns as well.<BR/><BR/>BCL, I am glad you post often on this issue. The deniers seem to have fewer arguments - even ones that appear to have some basis. When they resort to personal attacks, it's always a sing they are frustrated by their own impotence.900ft Jesushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01882830831096870992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-33649978329754219962007-10-03T12:26:00.001-04:002007-10-03T12:26:00.001-04:00900 ft,I don't doubt that they are sincere in that...900 ft,<BR/><BR/>I don't doubt that they are sincere in that they believe its happening. That's just becoming too obvious, to the point where businesses (tourism based, for example) are actively having to plan for a warmer future. <BR/><BR/>This is their attempt to get out in front of the issue and shape the debate. I doubt a pure free market response will prove adequate, but I absolutely think the corporate sector has a right to contribute to the policy debate.bigcitylibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05081538803991095825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-16639212136365885562007-10-03T12:26:00.000-04:002007-10-03T12:26:00.000-04:00Shaddup, anony-tard.I once described your hair as ...Shaddup, anony-tard.<BR/><BR/><I>I once described your hair as "freakish".

This was bound to happen. I doubt they are sincere, but they know they have to at least hum along so they can appear as though they want to be good corporate citizens as they target and corner the market on ripping us off with environmentally friendly products and approaches - ones they know they would eventually have to shift to anyway.900ft Jesushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01882830831096870992noreply@blogger.com
