Why Is the U.S. Backward, and Other Climate Questions - Bloomberg

U.S. BACKWARDNESS: Raj Thamotheram, author of Investing as if the Long Term Matters, said the progress of the Carbon Disclosure Project has been somewhat paradoxical with regard to climate change politics. "I was an early backer of CDP so it’s wonderful to see what an amazing initiative it’s turned out to be," he wrote in an email. "But as it went from strength to strength, climate change has gone off the political agenda. Nowhere is this retrogressive trend more obvious than in America. Do we really live in parallel universes? Actually, the explanation is obvious. Corporations with vested interests or deeply ideological leaders (the two are often linked) have captured the political debate. They’ve funded the dumbing down of the debate.'"

High carbon companies have been making pretty high financial returns recently because of the supply and demand dynamics of the energy sector, so there’s no doubt that unless you have a specifically focused pension fund it will be invested in high-carbon.
I think there is a sleeping giant here – millions of people have significant investments that they are not thinking about how they are invested…also we need regulation for pension funds – there is some already, but when you get your pension fund in 30 years time do you want the most amount of money in an unsustainable world with 4-5 degrees warming, or do you want an optimal amount of money in a safe, sustainable world without dangerous climate change.
