Even the most obstinate of business owners will whistle a different tune when we show them how adhering to the regulations will actually save them money. Nobody has ever made progress by destroying industry. But by passing regulations to make those industries more efficient they not only produce less carbon, but also produce more product for the same amount of raw materials. Furthermore, if there are no targets on the amount of pollution or the efficiency of production there will be no capitalistic endeavor to ever produce a more economic solar panel or a more efficient wind turbine. If anything it is the Global Warming deniers who willing spite their own faces just to say "See, it isn't working!"
You seem to not understand how capitalism works. What regulations produced Microsoft, the NFL, Amazon.com and countless other businesses? Adhering to regulations will save you money only as much as shooting yourself in the foot saves your life (instead of shooting yourself in the head).
