Check out this great Business Week piece on what some heads up companies are doing about climate change. The best quote came from Cinergy Corp. (CIN ) CEO James E. Rogers, who said, "Forget the science debate. The regulations will change someday. And if we're not ready, we're in trouble."

Gotta love a pragmatist -- and any business type who understands that there's money to be made in every new endeavour, and the most money goes to the people on the leading edge.

How Unconventional Gas Threatens our Water, Health, and Climate

Democracy is utterly dependent upon an electorate that is accurately informed. In promoting climate change denial (and often denying their responsibility for doing so) industry has done more than endanger the environment. It has undermined democracy.

There is a vast difference between putting forth a point of view, honestly held, and intentionally sowing the seeds of confusion. Free speech does not include the right to deceive. Deception is not a point of view. And the right to disagree does not include a right to intentionally subvert the public awareness.
