...if leaders and industry heads were presented with a model of what would happen to their industries within 10 years if global warming is not checked...

I just got this response from the Coalition of Industry Leaders (COIL):

"I am sure you mean well by thinking 10 years out, but there are too many unknowns, including the known unknowns and the unknown unknowns. Meanwhile, we have a responsibility to the stockholders who may want to sell next quarter while the capital gains taxes are low."

Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.

Sometimes in my darker moods I think that they already understand it and are simply preparing for it before the panic really sets in. They are buying gold, stocking up on provisions, getting off the electricity grig, putting up fortresses within gated communities and setting up mercenary armies...uhm...I mean private security firms to do their bidding.

And then I have really darker moods...
