I didn't copy you deliberately. Honest.

Here's a graphic version of what this costs each year - coal caused illness as a part of the total.
Getting rid of coal would reduce health care costs by 13% to 19%. That could help a lot of people.

Climate change looks like a lot of misery. Before I saw this article I never associated climate change with banks. But I guess they finance some high-carbon stuff, so they contribute to the problem.
