Gem of the day

It's common sense that the UN doesn't exactly move very fast. But the findings of the latest UNEP Finance Initiative report are pretty comical--apparently the finance sector is a 'little confused' about what information climate risks is reliable, and how to approach climate migitation in the first place. Witness:

"Overall, less than half of the respondents feel they are sufficiently well-informed. Just one-third feels 'sufficiently informed' on climate change."

Not surprising considering BP's shares have already started to rise again--if that's not evidence that the marketplace has absolutely no infrastructure--or real impetus--to change the way environmental and climate risks are measured, I don't know what is.
