Warren Buffett said it best:

"Berkshire Hathaway did not respond to requests for comment for this article, but in February Buffett addressed the climate risk resolution in a letter to shareholders. "It seems highly likely to me that climate change poses a major problem for the planet," Buffett wrote, but not a problem for profits. He closed by saying: "As a citizen, you may understandably find climate change keeping you up nights. As a homeowner in a low-lying area, you may wish to consider moving. But when you are thinking only as a shareholder of a major insurer, climate change should not be on your list of worries."

"Through its holdings, Berkshire Hathaway also has about $6.7 billion invested in fossil fuel companies, including the oil refiner Phillips 66 and the Canadian tar sands operator Suncor Energy, Inc. His company's rail giant, BNSF, drew $4.6 billion in revenue from hauling coal last year."
