According to this piece in ClimateBiz, 10 trends impacting the climate-business landscape in 2010 include improved literacy about the climate effects of business, higher stakeholder expectations, and greater emphasis on adaptation to climate change. Adhering to these trends and actions may contribute to tangible results in the climate policy arena. What other suggestions would you add?

Well first off I'd have to say I wish this blog post was actually a piece, and not a link sluff off of no unity or integrity. Sort of a cruel judgement is that this is hack work. Little bit of copy with questions and then links, and then, "Hey what do you think?!"

"Adhering to these trends and actions may contribute to tangible results in the climate policy arena."

As a reader I can tell bullshit from tangible information worth spending my time reading.

I'd try to moderate my tone and be nicer in recognition of demands on thinking time etcetera, but my wife says I have to eat what she made for me, and I'm hungry anyway.

Please explain why I'm cranky?
