So, tell me, what's loaded, about basic business processes? The basic difference between the two approaches, is that if we accept there may be a Threat, then we will have simply followed good business practices and acted on the SWOT approach, which is simply a strategic planning method used to evaluate the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats involved in any project, Private business venture and Governments, at all levels.
We will have detected possible Threats, such as Climate Change & Peak Energy and done our Due Diligence, to see that future generations had a reasonable chance of living a life worth living.
In other words, we (collectively) will simply have done what good businesses, governments & individuals should do, every day and what most actually do.
We have assessed the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities & Threats, several significant Threats have appeared and we have treated them according to their priority. These threats, whilst some may say they are not overwhelming, nor perhaps even likely, they are of such a size, if they become reality, that we CAN NOT IGNORE THEM.
So, we do what good business pratice dictates, we look at insurance to cover the RISK of SYSTEMIC MELTDOWN, by getting everyone to pitch in a bit every year, as preventative measures and we take all possible mitigation measures, to try to prevent the systemic meltdown of the Business/Government/Global Economy. Frankly, none of you supposed CONServatives on here, know the first thing about business or the Climate Change issues, I haven't seen a coherent argument put from any of you! Likewise. I dont know any company stupid enough to take money off of their workers or to pay extra, just to save 0.0001% temperature that will have zero impact on their business. In fact, good businesses undertake risk mitigation continuously and that would involve the workers and the owners, including the shareholders getting a little less than they may otherwise, in an effort to keep the business from being derailed by some of those ocassional, but serious/systemic threatening events!
However, some threats are beyond the knowledge & capacities of 99.9% of most businesses and that is where governments should step in and provide advice & guidance. What a load of crap that was. Give us a break. Why? Because you SPAM us with this crap and when I answer it, you then move the goal posts to the government. YOU have unwittingly correlated your answer with mine. What you said is crap. How did you do it. By moving the goal posts from business (your big SPAM) to government. Why don't you try to stop just saying crap and provide a logical answer, then I wouldn't have to ask why!
As for moving goal posts, do you think there is one silver bullet involved here, if you do, then you are wrong, again.
All that I was doing, was pointing out that the reasons why we should act on Climate Change have similar origins to why business take action to mitigate possible threats.
However, most business do not have access to the sort of information flows that governments do, so there is also an onus on governments to direct the business sector by providing advice & guidance on some of the macro issues, like Climate Change, that most private businesses could not possibly generate & verify themselves.
So again, I ask WHY - 1) Is it crap that we should not follow good businesses practice and undertake risk mitigation, against known threats, which have a capacity for serious/systemic derailment of the Global Economy?
2) Is trying to explain how the pieces of this puzzle, which includes many factors (including the role of government), shifting the goal posts?
