On: UN warns biodiversity loss poses greater business risk than climate change
It's not bigger than climate change - it's mostly climate change
Looking through the report, the carbon offset market provides the bulk of the business interest in biodiversity. In fact, most of the case for biodiversity doesn't involve biodiversity directly at all, with it being an assumed side-effect.

BP taking OBAMA for a ride
It is clear to anyone who has experience working in the Oil Industry that BP is now doing what they were supposed to be doing from the moment the accident started, i.e. when the drill ship sank and oil began leaking into the sea.
This is what will happen when the well is flanged up, by installing the spool and placing a production fitting complete with valve (and back up equipment) above the defective Blow out Preventer. Lines will be connected to the tankers on surface to convey oil unit on a temporary basis basis until the clean up of the gulf is completed either by wave action or by clean up teams.
This having been done, BP will use the two wells currently being drilled as production wells. They will be drilled to target depths and completed with downhole equipment and left as subsea production wells to be produced later.
After total cleanup and Obama's blessing for a clean up well done by BP, BP will announce that they will be installing a three well platform in the gulf. The three wells will be hooked up for a oil/gas production of over 500,000 barrels per day.
In other works, BP is well ahead of the gameplan and is using this opportunity to bring the leaking well safely under production and also using the two side wells as production wells.
OBAMA has been outsmarted!

Beyond reason?
Given the advances that have been made in social psychology and behavioural economics in the past decade businesses and legislators should we be well aware that consumer choices are often (usually?) far from rational.
WRAP's evidence suggests that the provision of information about green credentials has little impact and raises the question 'why bother?'. More importantly, why should businesses be offering non 'eco' energy using products at all? Why would anyone want to purchase an inefficient product if the same utility could be provided at the same price? Surely restricting choice would be the simplest option, and if businesses will not do so through voluntary agreements then the responsibility must fall to Government to intervene.

sustainable?
capital cost of solar power plant is almost eight to ten times the CC of the conventional PP. quantum jump in technology coupled with desbsidisation of energy supply worldwide is required to sustain investments in green technologies
