Future Standards

It’s seems to me, quite often one hears about the big tobacco lobby or big oil lobby, and now, climate change lobbying abounds. This article discusses the vast growth of the climate change lobbyists over the last five years.

“Their sheer numbers are noteworthy, topping about 2,340 — a 300 percent increase over the past five years. There are now four climate change lobbyists for every member of Congress.”

Of course, these lobbyists come from all sides promoting all different views and interests. It seems that bringing so much attention to the issue may have the negative effect of clogging the system and preventing any really change (without direct action that is).
