The tide is turning, and all that will remain are the coal industry, nuclear industry, and Hippy/Environmentalist-hating Right-Wingers. I would imagine these CEOs see this shift, and still want to make a profit. Oh well, the screwballs will still have feminists, gays, and Pagans to go after. www.desmogblog.com/ford-chief-executive-admits-global-warming-is-real-gm-official-calls-for-actionFord chief executive admits global warming is real; GM official calls for action24 Apr 07 Alan Mulally, chief executive officer of Ford Motor Co., told a news conference, "The vast majority of data indicates that the temperature has increased, and I believe the correlation and the analysis says that is mainly because of the greenhouse gases keeping the heat in." Mulally made his comments while announcing the appointment of Susan Cischke, Ford's vice president of environmental and safety engineering, to the new post of senior vice president in charge of sustainability, environment and safety engineering. The move, Mulally said, was meant to underscore the importance of this issue to Ford's corporate strategy. The same day, General Motors Corp. Vice Chairman Bob Lutz urged the U.S. government to take a Manhattan Project-like approach to creating a national energy policy, bringing the best minds in the country to bear on the issue of energy sustainability and independence.

Of course, when you see billionaires getting behind anything, you must be skeptical of their motives, even if they are "environmental friendly". It is sad and pitiful seeing the Right-Wingers trying to say that some Global Warming reversal advocates resorting to "see they drive jets", or "they want to limit toilet paper". The whole point is missed.
You can't argue with data. You can spin it, and you can manipulate it, but whether Al Gore or Sheryl Crow wipe their butts or bot or pilot a jet is minuscule compared to how many oil, defense, nuclear, coal, and energy officials are raping the environment. They are hidden, and away from our view, where an Al Gore, Rosie, Charlie Sheen, or Sheryl Crow are easy targets for the Global Warming Denial Machine or the 9/11 Inside Job Machine, or in fact the Tobacco Industry Lie Machine.
