The latest Christian Aid report, ‘The climate of poverty: the facts, fears and hope’, launched to coincide with Christian Aid Week (14-20 May), highlights that climate change is now threatening development goals for billions of the world’s poorest people. The report reveals the stark reality that a staggering 182 million people in sub-Saharan Africa alone could die of disease directly attributable to climate change by the end of the century. Many millions more throughout the world face death and devastation due to climate-induced floods, famine, drought and conflict. The report calls on the Irish government to lead rich countries in taking urgent action to curb global warming.

While a watchful eye on Wall Street will show whether anyone else gets the bright idea of investing in LSRI or making a market for them, attention should now be focused on the small group of companies that are providing HLS with enough ballast to keep their heads above water read full story / add a comment
