JT> Why don't you show us the "Huff and Puff" article so we can read it for ourselves.


Just for you :

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/matthew-j-kiernan/tackling-climate-change-f_b_6547106.html

As usual, climate change was front and centre at this year's World Economic Forum in Davos. Sadly, however, the vast majority of the discussion proceeded on two fundamentally flawed assumptions:

1. That the real action was at the inter-governmental level, and that actual outcomes on the ground would be largely determined by the success or failure of the mega-negotiations at the Paris COP 21 in December.

2. That , even if "non-state actors " like institutional investors did have a material role to play, the apotheosis of their contribution would be investing in "clean tech" --- finance and build a few solar and wind farms, and all will be well.

Puhleese, folks: let's get real! The first fallacy essentially ignores the massive potential impact -- for good or for ill -- of redirecting the $150+ trillion in stocks and bonds owned by public and corporate pension funds, insurance companies, endowments and foundations, family offices, and high net worth individuals.



(Article does continue. Zim.)
(I still maintain that here be thieves looking at stealing and misappropriating folks pension funds.)
