Business Chiefs Urge Carbon Curbs
by The Green A-TeamGreen Air Filter:
Like a group of do-gooder Super Friends, 99 major international companies have formed a coalition. But they are not fighting evil, per se. They are asking the G8 nations to create a legitimate target for which the greenhouse gas emissions can be cut down to. They are also asking for a change in government policy so companies can be provided with the aid they need for climate adapting products and services as well as a global carbon system.
This plan of action can bring about two possibilities. For one thing, with every nation able to carbon cap and trade on the same level (including post-Kyoto nations) it will be easier to realize emissions goals and healthy business competition will certainly open up. However, each company will have different policies and competition for government aid may also arise. They may be friends now, but 99’s a crowd.
