The sheer scale of the underlying climate risk could, in the act of disclosure, have a material financial effect, whether driven by disbelief, investor flight to purportedly ‘safer’ assets, or some other mechanism. strategicclimaterisks.substack.com/p/are-we-in-... - Footage of #RisingTide champions locking on to coal equipment. We're still disrupting coal exports because Labor is failing to act on climate and failing to support workers. When governments fail to protect, the people will rise!
