i was trawling about the web this afternoon and stumbled across a european union observer website which had a prize for worst lobbyists of 2007, which daimler-benz won for a campaign against mandated reductions in carbon emissions in cars. they apparently spent a huge sum of money generating all sorts of infotainment about the dire consequences of such mandated reductions, which would obviously have impacted on their bottom line, and that impact would have far outweighed any consequences of this climate change business.
o yeah--in my everyday life, my position is basically the same as filtherton's.
