This is another post along the lines of how a changing climate will impact financial and economic interests. The article below points out that financial institutions are waking up to the costs in real dollars and cents that the warming climate will have. Not having read the study I surmise that the only aspect that has been evaluated is strictly focused on…
In several previous posts I have pointed out the financial risk that climate change poses to the world economy. Increasingly the world is waking up to how climate change will affect corporate stability and by extension, capital markets. Insurance companies are on the front line of this issue. And as I pointed out, so is the government flood insurance program…
There’s not much I can say that will add to the following article. I am posting it here in its entirety since I know that most of you don’t actually click through to read the underlying articles on which I base my posts. For the skeptics and so called experts that have been grossly underestimating the growth of renewable energy…
As always, follow the money. The good news is that at more and more companies, shareholders are putting forward a significantly increased number of proposals at corporate annual meetings.
