Children Will Check Industry On Climate
Executives Can Be Trusted To Voluntarily Cut Emissions, Official Says

SYDNEY, Australia - The United States and Australia insisted Wednesday at the opening of a two-day climate change conference that industry leaders can be relied upon to voluntarily slash emissions blamed for heating the earth’s atmosphere.

“I believe that the people who run the private sector, who run these companies, they do have children, they do have grandchildren, they do live and breathe in the world,” U.S. Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman said.

“It’s a matter of working with the leadership of these companies and seeking their participation,” he added.

4. Right.

Cuz that's been working so well as a motivator up til now. Wait, let me guess. They'll think of the children, and then technology and the free market will save us. With voluntary regulations.
