The title of this OP is misleading as at Davos the participants will discuss not only AGW but other issues that affect the world economy. There is no hypocrisy as getting world business and political leaders together to discuss policy can be a good thing. The American Petroleum Institute among other countless other institutions and scientists acknowledge that AGW is real and must be dealt with. Hopefully, these discussions will turn into policy for the sake of future generations. Someone should care for the future generations.
Great of these benevolent oil companies to voluntarily change huh? Almost hard to believe in fact. It's as if....it's all a game. The Rockefeller family controls ExxonMobil (the most profitable corporation in the hostory of the world who pays zero in corporate income tax) and BP (who bought the right to skip safety inspections when they became Obama's #1 campaign contributor back in 2008). They also founded the IPCC. They're also the #1 private funders of global warming science/scientists on the planet through their network of shadow money. Foundations, non profits, endowments, and all types of clever ways to never pay any taxes. They also sat on the Board of Directors of Al Gore's Chicago Carbon Exchange along with Kenneth Ley of Enron, Bill Clinton, et al. It amazes me that you don't smell a rat here on any level.
A squadron of 1,700 private jets are rumbling into Davos, Switzerland, this week to discuss global warming and other issues as the annual World Economic Forum gets underway.
The influx of private jets is so great, the Swiss Armed Forces has been forced to open up a military air base for the first time ever to absorb all the super rich flying their private jets into the event, reports Newsweek.
This is the Annual World Econmic Forum. There are serious hundreds of concurrent agendas going on. Pandemics, Political Instability, Tech, QE, Inequality, Oil and Climate Change are some of the highlights. You got the Ukraine asking the IMFS for $. My favorite agenda is " Passion Fruit Partnerships " .
I've always said, when the most important Global Warming proponents start walking, biking, sailing, and only using electricity generated by non negative environment source, I'll at least respect them and possibly consider their views more closely. As it now stands, they're the biggest hypocrits on Mother earth.
As someone not trained in atmospheric science I am agnostic when it comes to global warming. As someone who is ignorant, I have to look at tell-tale indicators to decide whether AGW alarmists are crying wolf or not. When Barack Obama cancels his annual flight to Hawaii w/ massive entourage, and when Al Gore downsizes his 10,000 square foot mansion, I will take them seriously. Until then I have to think that with all of their access to experts and to data, they are not alarmed, and so neither am I.
Maybe your problem is that you're focusing on politicians and ignoring actual scientists.
Those economic opportunities are driven by government mandates and subsidies.
So? Regulation is perfectly OK. Companies as such are like parasitic psychopaths. Thus they need to be tightly controlled and regulated in order to keep them more or less social. Just think of the catalytic converter, various filters, changes to save the ozone layer - all of those were only possible because government forced companies to do it, else they wouldn't have because their motives are not noble or sustainable, nor is the mindset of most customers.
Regulation is good, the only problem is when it is done the wrong way.

Oil and Natural Gas Industry Guidelines for Greenhouse Gas Reduction Projects
IPIECA and API have produced guidance for oil and natural gas companies as they evaluate options for reducing their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and registering project-level GHG emission reductions. This guidance focuses on the technical aspects of reducing GHG emissions separate from policy considerations.

But where, anywhere does it say they agree humans are causing climate change?
They are agreeing only for political gain. Otherwise, its business as usual.
