Apparently someone sent out a memo, because all the major corporate outlets are suddenly pounding “climate change” this morning.

Huh, who would have though murdering the planet was bad for business... There is no economy if we are all dead. The fossil fuels profits were 100% not worth it.

It’s unfortunate that our nation only investigates climate change due to the financial impact but not that on people, wildlife, or our environment.

If more people work more energy gets used hence more climate change. Keep people unemployed.

These reactionary moderates have done nothing since the 90s but stall, dissuade and further oil and gas narratives about cyclic weather. A pox on them all.

Fund migration, don’t fight the climate

This planet has been changing lobe before mankind arrival here and the process will continue despite mankind’s feeble efforts. Nature decides this not mankind and just like thr dinosaur nature will decide when mankind’s time here will end, not mankind.

This will only be a hyperbole assessment to facilitate the current inflation trend due to Biden's anti corporate policies!

SAD, It took climate change to have financial impact to be taken seriously

UPDATE 1-US's Yellen urges better coordination on carbon policyU.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen called on Friday for better international coordination on carbon-cutting policies to avoid trade frictions, days before the European Union is due to unveil a controversial carbon border tax. The EU's carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) would impose levies on the carbon content of imported goods in an effort to discourage 'carbon leakage', the transfer of production to countries with less onerous emission restrictions. Speaking as G20 finance ministers met in Venice, Yellen said there were multiple paths to achieve the emissions cuts needed to tackle climate change besides explicit carbon-pricing. 👀
