ABSTRACT
To scupper the Kyoto accord, business must, according to Marlo Lewis, be prepared to accuse the greenhouse lobby of peddling poor science; categorically deny the need for urgent action; explain that the treaty will harm the poor; explain why the best societal insurance policy is the resilience of a free and prosperous economy (the fact that the same strength storm kills no one in Florida but thousands in Bangladesh, is not down to luck, good or bad); and finally expose the climate crisis as a pretext for the most audacious power play in the late twentieth century. Business may lack the determination to do this, but unless they do, failure is probably assured.
