In a critical year for action to prevent runaway climate change, one would hope the issue would rank high on chief executives' list of business risks to worry about.

So it comes as a shock to discover that climate change appears so low on their list of concerns that professional services group Price Waterhouse Coopers did not even bother to include it in its global survey of business leaders.

The bottle genie still works her magic.

That's where McGuinty works now. Maybe he can deliver this news to his successor.

Good article in WUWT and good for Price Waterhouse.

It is only the wealth redistributers, the religious eco-wackjobs, and the gullible LIVs that believe in the AGW snake oil.

It's worth going to the Guardian link for the full account. The writers are beside themselves with anguish over the indifference of CEOs, blaming their ignorance. CEOs are in charge of a company to do one thing, make money for the shareholders. It's a pretty brutal Darwinian natural selection for those who fail, so their principal concern is anything which might significantly threaten that. Their indifference to AGW shows more clearly than anything what the reality of the AGW scare is and the likelihood of anything happening to impact company profitability.

Actions (or lack thereof) speak louder than words, always.

That strategy of not talking about it is by design. No one talking about Global Warming means no one debunking it either. They just ignore it. This gives politicians the green light to tax and regulate as the status quo of runaway Global Warming remains.

Yep, it also can give the impression "the science is settled so what's the point of a discussion?". In this case though I think the article is accurate.

Yeah, who would know more about the economic effects of global warming, the CEO's of the biggest corporations on the planet,or a bunch of hack writers at a left wing British newspaper?

In their own eyes, the msm are our intellectual elites, to the rest of the world,they're overly neurotic propagandists.

AGW is on the list of concerns.

Look under, "Bilk the credulous idiots out of taxpayer funds, and 'green energy' premiums."

The "new" word used by the Anti-Science (Science Journalists) junk science barkers is that a study "Suggests" something scary, not may or could or would.

I suspect "Suggest" passes peer review in the village of crap.

The finality of AGW science is reduced to a subtle suggestion made by a mental midget. Gore! time to flush yourself

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
