Greenstone is an idiot if he thinks that markets didn’t exist before the government came by and magically created them with its all powerful, all knowing influence. People have been trading since the dawn of civilization.

Comment on Why HSBC’s Recent Response To Greenpeace Really Is A Very Big Deal by PeterBurgess

Slowly slowly … but the momentum is growing. Many of the Directors on Corporate Boards have a singular interest in profits and stock prices. They are not leading on sustainability … but will be forced to pay attention as more and more of their customers are paying attention and even more so when more and more investors start to make ESG a priority and commit to the Principles of Responsible Investing (PRI) All of this will accelerate when there are better metrics that embrace social and environmental impact as well as merely accounting for money profit.

This may be the only way to solve forests in some places. But what if funding recipients scale up drastically the cash threshold at which they will stop cutting down trees? It also does not solve large-scale deforestation by the agro sector.

Comment on If Trump Bails On Paris Agreement, At Least He’ll Be Out Of The Way by Houghie

I wonder if the climate change debate will cover aircraft pollution and cruise liner pollution which are both horrendous. I see white clouds, water vapour from precipitation and aircraft exhaust. I see grey clouds, water vapour with carbon and other chemical molecules mixed in from aircraft. I see black whispy clouds, carbon and othere chemicals free floating being carried on the winds and falling with the rain. This carbon etc. along with the high levels from cruise liners falling on the land and being inhaled, falling on the surface of the sea and being injested by fish etc. falling on the ice in the colder areas causing it to warm and melt. All of this I imagine to be happening, could someone comment? But I have no doubt that the motorist like myself will carry the blame. Remember, an aircraft is taking off somewhere every few seconds, and a cruise liner emits tons of pollution, I believe at any one time it can be equal to a million cars?

Unless the tax follows the lightbulb ban & acts as a way to eliminate options to the individual, undermining his decision making & ability in the world.

In reply to אלכסנדר סעודה. The house has been defected since that genius Al Gore opened his mouth. BTW he never answered the question of why he lives in multi thousand square feet house which uses huge amount of electricity.

The Climate Change has been a swindle from day one and that hasn’t changed. If US agrees to it, it will be a trillion dollar curse that will infect every man and woman in the USA.
Get real people. Most us experience 30 degree temperature difference between day and night or on seasonal basis. Even if the United Nation climate models were accurate (BTW they are not. when past 30 year data was used to see if they predict today’s temperature they failed) how important is it if within the next 100 years, as they predict the temperatures go up half a degree?

Trump is making America Great Again.

Trump now understand I think that climate change is real threat to the existence of USA and he should stay on paris agreement. If it isn’t the case, companies like Exxon Mobile would not protect the agreement. But he remember what he say before the election so it is difficult to him.

But now even from his voters 47% want to stay and only 28% to leave. It mean very possibly, that even in the election most of voters was for the agreement and vote for Trump because of others reasons-he should not act against the majority of his voters.

I think, it even possible that some voters change their opinion since the election. If someone want to buy house and then discovered that it go to fall, but will be forsed to move to it even if he do not want it more, I do not think he will be happy.

And if he do not beleive the poll he can simply, MAKE A REFERENDUM.
