Bank of England Chief Issues Climate Warning

摘要

Mark Carney, the outgoing governor of the Bank of England says the financial sector needs to take climate change more seriously, warning that fossil fuel assets could become “worthless” if efforts to reduce emissions are accelerated. In an interview with BBC Radio on Monday, Carney, who will take up a new position as UN special envoy on climate in the new year, said “we'sre not on the path to stabilizing temperatures at present,” adding that more urgent action must be taken.
