EU warms to business of climate change

EU policymakers are increasingly touting the practical benefits, particularly for business, rather than moral responsibility or survival of humanity, of climate change.

The change reflects a recasting of the way climate policy is being sold to the EU's citizens in the wake of the December 2009 disastrous Copenhagen climate change conference. No longer on a moral crusade, EU policymakers are increasingly touting the practical benefits, particularly for business.
