Futures Forum: Climate change: themes range from corporate social responsibility and self-regulation... to governmental intervention and technological solutions

Certain sections of the economy have been viewing climate change sceptically:
Futures Forum: "Climate science has been dragged into the American-style culture wars that are turning British intellectual life into a battlefield."
Futures Forum: Climate change: "Conservatives don’t hate climate science. They hate the left’s climate solutions"
Futures Forum: "A Coal-Fired Dream World" >>> "... a growing realization that the productive potential of machinery driven by coal was limitless. Railroad development made possible by coal and startling new inventions like the telegraph, seemed suddenly to make village life and local dreams irrelevant."
Futures Forum: Climate change: Ralph Nader and the 'Kingpins of Carbon'

However, in general, the corporate world is taking climate change very seriously:
Futures Forum: Climate change: businesses wake up to climate action
Futures Forum: East Devon Business Forum: "Something to think about for the next council."
Futures Forum: Climate change: perceptions and solutions: a summary
Futures Forum: Transition Network: Sir David King on climate change as "the biggest diplomatic challenge of all time"

The FT has been doing so for some time:
Futures Forum: An uncertain future for fracking...
Futures Forum: From the 'fossil-fuel age' to an international carbon tax
Futures Forum: "I believe humanity is making risky bets in the climate casino ... But it is always possible that humanity will wake up and make the needed investments in rapid change, driven by the magic of the market and technological innovation."
Futures Forum: Climate change sceptics 'are losing their grip'
Futures Forum: Climate change: CO2 levels hit 400 ppm
Futures Forum: “Energiewende” – energy transformation... reducing dependence on fossil fuels and changing the role of the large traditional utilities.

This is a recent overview of the issues from the FT perspective:
