“More than 180 of the world’s largest investors, with collective assets of $13tn, put their combined weight behind a passionate call for strong US and international action on global warming in New York today. ”We cannot drag our feet on the issue of global climate change,” said Thomas DiNapoli, who heads the $116.5bn New York state pension fund. “I am deeply concerned about the investor risks climate change presents, and the human cost of inaction is unthinkable.”“
All I can say is, Finally! Unfortunately it’s not action based on protecting our environment –it’s motivated by money– but at least some kind of action will be taken. Time will tell, but I am tired of inaction on our part.
