As far as carbon trading taking off in the future, sure I could see it becoming very big business. But it's not there yet, and that's how things work. Every new industry replaces an old industry, every better way of doing things, will be, eventually replaced itself.
Circle of life. Now if the people in charge really wanted to build long lasting sustainable companies, they can do it, but as I said, rule of business in the 21st century seems to be make as much money as you can whether it's ethically or not, pull your golden parachute, and let the next guy deal with it.
Believe it or not there did used to be guys like Carnegie following in the examples of Lincoln and other politicians and inventors, who did advocate social responsibility and sustainability and actually improving mankind through business, instead of just amassing as much gold as possible. Now it does seem like many CEO's and politicians are just interested in their own 50 year span AGR. (After getting rich)
