No doubt there is Climate Change its been happening for centuries and its not rocket science to know that man has also contibuted (with the billions of people on this earth?), we've had the industrial age, companies have been drilling for oil towards the earths core releasing heat, volcanoes have erupting, the continental plates have been shifting, the amazon rain forest is being dessimated, nuclear plants have been exploding, wars are destroying valuable land, their dumping waste in the ocean from desalination plants and the list goes on and on, we dont need scientists to tell us this, just ask your grandparents....
The question really is "How much of this do we account for and what is the added cost we consider for our Assets, without being unsustainable?"
