Climate Change — # 7 On List ?!
The Pacific Economic Cooperation Council announced Wednesday that climate change was the summit’s No. 7 priority, based on an annual survey of regional government officials, business people and academics. Last year, it was No. 4.
Among the issues ranking above climate change this year: trade talks, food and energy security and reforming the APEC bureaucracy.
Top on the list, of course, was the credit crunch on Wall Street that has sent global markets plummeting.
This is not what we want to hear. This is like the passengers in a run away wagon yelling at each other because it is pitching and rolling instead of trying to slow and bring to a halt the underlying conditions.
