Bank of England boss Mark Carney was under fire last night after warning that climate change could trigger a financial crisis. Critics said the Governor's 'alarmist' comments went outside his remit and accused him of 'politicising' the job. The banker, whose wife Diana is a prominent green campaigner, described global warming as 'the tragedy on the horizon' for the world economy. Critics dismissed his views, with the Financial Times saying Mr Carney's intervention 'comes dangerously close to taking sides'. --Hugo Duncan, Daily Mail, 2 October 2015 The future is closer than you think. This planet could become a stranded asset once the Martian microbes of doom reach us. This is a serious matter. Britain's small businesses will find it far harder to sell their goods and services once the cosmos is ruled by Martians reaching us from our next-door neighbour in the solar system. The insurance industry is far from prepared for that eventuality. This is a macroprudential issue if ever I saw one. –Mystic Mark Carney, Financial Times, 1 October 2015https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_carney.jpg
