150 major global companies (including companies like Shell, Britsh Airways, Pirelli & Pacific Gas & Electric Company!) have issued a statement saying that the evidence for Global warming/Climate change is indisputable and world governments should legislate for binding limits on emissions for businesses! So, the businesses themselves say that they are convinced of the problem and that they want to be held accountable for the damage to the environment and encouraged to develop new technologies. They say that Global business needs...
a sufficiently ambitious, international and comprehensive, legally-binding United Nations agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will provide business with the certainty it needs to scale up global investment in low-carbon technologies....and that "global targets for emission reductions should be based on science, not economic considerations". Of course there is already a fly in the ointment, guess who! Yes the United States of "not our problem" has issued it's own statement saying it will not support global emission limits for business! Hmmm, no surprise there then!
