Increased dislocation and migration as people flee climate-fueled instability. Heightened military tension and uncertainty. Financial hazards.”

“A carbon tax is in theory a more efficient way than regulation to reduce carbon emissions. But after decades of global conferences, forests of reports, dire television documentaries, celebrity appeals, school-curriculum overhauls and media bludgeoning, voters don’t believe that climate change justifies policies that would raise their cost of living and hurt the economy.”

Accuracy needs to be improved in corporate social responsibility (CSR) reports according to researchers at the University of Leeds and Euromed Management School who looked at 4,000 CSR reports. They concluded “reports often feature unsubstantiated claims, holes and inaccurate figures.” Among the biggest errors, the researchers found one Italian energy company reported carbon emissions four times those of the entire planet earth.
