I know Dick Cheney and former ExxonMobil CEO Lee Raymond—and for that matter, Michael Crichton—say no deal. Maybe you do, too. That is, global warming—or not. Hence the picture above is a report, not an OpEd. Apple blossoms, Boston Public Garden, 1 January 2007.
I happen to be convinced that climate change is a serious matter. The real question, in my not so humble opinion, is what do we do about it. I fear that environmentalists and anti-corporate liberals want to use the crisis to push through their own political agenda. At the same time, clearly the friends of industrial mega-corporations tend to be in a campaign of denial.
It’s frustrating. The longer we fail to have a credible strategy the more costly the ultimate corrective behavior is going to be. How long until we actually have some sensible dialogue on this topic?
