HSBC’s Stuart Kirk on Climate: ‘There’s Always Some Nut Job Telling Me About the End of the World’

EXCERPT:

KIRK: “I feel like it's getting a little bit out of hand, the constant reminder that we are doomed, the constant reminder that within decades, it's all over. And indeed, Sharon said, we are not going to survive. And indeed, no one ran from the room. In fact, most of you barely looked up from your mobile phones at the prospect of non-survival. It's become so hyperbolic that no one really knows how to get anyone's attention at all. Now I wouldn't normally mind that. Twenty five years in the finance industry, there's always some nutjob telling me about the end of the world.”
