the business sector will never care about the effects of climate change because it has not directly affected their bottom lines yet. I dont understand why we even invite them to the table.."lets wait another year to catch our breath" ....how is that even close to being reasonable? The only way we could strike a balace with that kind of attitude is if the other side was sayig " lets just do everything we possibly could to deal with climate change now "...but thats not at all the attitude of the people that want to deal with climate change. I feel like one side is trying to be realistic, while the other is hard headed and uncooperative.
