Firstly, politicians have never any indication that they even understand the short and long term impact of climate change. Nothing is certain scientifically and yet some of them are so ready to impose "carbon tax". Or, on the other hand, ready to declare "Global warming doesn't exist!"
Secondly, I would say that the individual industries are more capable of conducting research and then changing their behavior accordingly. What incentive do they have? Well thats where you and me come in. Are we willing to still buy their product if it was made at the expense of enviroment? if we are, then we should suffer the consequences. I'd rather have that than a govt. that has no clue on the topic but goes right ahead and starts imposing taxes, which most likely than not, is a political move and not because they care about the environment.
