1. Unfortunately not Significantly bad for enough businesses in the short term that anyone cares

Most of the current CEOs, and Wall Street traders will all be dead by the time the really severe effects of climate change kick in so they don't care. They're also passing along wealth to their greedy Mitt Romney like spawn that could never be spent in several lifetimes so they don't care. Their spawn will use the billions to buy their way to places where going outside does not mean you'll be fried by the sun in only minutes after we bake off the oceans and the atmosphere.

But it is not sufficiently bad for business right now for them to care. It is far more profitable for them to cause earthquakes and pollute the environment by Fracking. Funny how closely that seems to "Fucking." It is far more profitable to screw the people of the gulf coast by spilling oil and then dispersants into coastal waters and then pay what's thought of as a huge fine rather than actually do anything to correct the actual problem.

No, we're never going to see the time where corporations who are "people" and money is "speech" ever causes a corporation to suffer the death penalty for their illegal deeds or that those monied organizations ever get prosecuted for slander or libel.
