had to properly account for the real costs of doing business;
taxpayer's and future generations should not pay their profits now SMOKE
and MIRRORS CORPORATE ACCOUNTING: MM&A and Lac Megantic ought to be
a lesson .. August 3rd 2013
In some industries, the damage
actually outstrips the value of products created : think of the profit
of 73 tankers of US fracked Oil vs the cost to the citizens; the town
and the business destroyed in Quebec ?
"Businesses use water
from rivers and lakes, without replacing what they take. They put
pollution in the atmosphere and don’t pay associated health care bills.
These are "externalities," or uncompensated costs, that pose an
increasing risk to the planet, as well as to companies themselves,
according to a new report.
If you put a financial figure to the
100 most serious environmental impacts that industry doesn’t currently
pay for--everything from greenhouse gases to land pollution--the number
is huge: $4.7 trillion a year.
I
Greenhouse gases make up
the largest share (38%), followed by water use (25%), land use (24%),
and air pollution (7%), according to Trucost, the research firm that
prepared the study. The report was published by the United
Nations-backed TEEB for Business Coalition, which wants to establish
"natural capital accounting" alongside traditional balance sheets.
The report looks at extractive industries like forestry, fisheries, and
mining, and processing ones like cement and steel, comparing natural
costs and revenues regionally. East Asian coal power generation has $453
billion in costs and only $443.1 in revenue. Cattle ranching and
farming in South America has $354 billion in costs, and just $17 billion
in revenue. North American coal has $317 billion in costs, and $66
billion in revenue.
This poses an inherent risk to investors,
the study says, as companies could not afford to meet costs if they had
to (say, if regulators got tough). That, in turn, would probably raise
prices at the grocery, and the pump.
"No high-impact
region-sectors generate sufficient profit to cover their environmental
impacts. Therefore if unpriced natural capital costs are internalized, a
large proportion would have to be passed on to consumers."
"The risk to agricultural commodity prices is particularly striking,
where the natural capital cost is universally higher than the revenue of
the sectors."
