Is the business community really combating the global warming warnings or are they still so skeptical that they might be still under minding the global warming communities. It seems that some major corporations continue to play a role by funding through government lobbying and the funding of global warming skeptics.
Some business corporations are playing a role in the mitigation of global warming by making decisions to invest in research and the implementing of new energy technology and also energy efficiency.
Jumping back to 1989, oil and the automotive industries and also the National Association of Manufacturers created a group, Global Climate Coalition to oppose mandatory action which would address the effects of global warming. Sounds like what the tobacco companies did back in the 50’s 60’s to protect their filthy products and misinformation tactics. The industry funded a $13 million advertising blitz leading up to the vote that in 1997 when the U.S. Senate failed to ratify the Kyoto Protocol.
