Just a thought: can an industry grouping that is beholden to high carbon energy and industrial businesses continue to speak for the climate concerned?

This December there are going to be intense negotiations for a new global climate change agreement. The lobbyist groups will be in top gear, but within those groups not all interests are the same.

The US Chamber of Commerce is advocating for a position that supports high carbon industries' licence to belch even in the face of climate chaos, but their membership includes many substantial businesses that are just as vehemently advocating for a strong Congressional commitment to climate change regulation.

Assuming it is not all duplicitous posturing, can the Chamber continue to speak for such a broad raft of American industry? Has it already picked a side? Is the carbon-at-will/carbon constraint divide so great and the issue so important that it could lead to a break up of the Chamber itself into the two camps? One fossil(ized), one new, perhaps embracing business responsibility?
