She makes you sick, takes your money, then bumps you off

It is clear that Blythe Masters, head of commodities trading and regulatory affairs at JPMorgan investment banking, and her Wall Street cohorts who finance and lobby for coal production do not play well with others.

The real story is now slowly coming out. Coal is only one of Morgan's dirty doings,how about running the Oil book,that's where the real stealing is at.

Kinda funny that we both chose the same metaphor. But your iceberg is a different one from mine.

I didn't copy you deliberately. Honest.

They're ugly everywhere and making us sick, on top of that. JPMorgan falls under the category of 'fossil fools.'

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.

If climate change doesn't get slowed down, real estate will be lost to sea level rise; the country's bread basket will be subject to drought and will produce less -- making food more expensive and probably inaccessible to some people; and extreme weather events, like Hurricane Sandy, will become more frequent, causing even more economic damage.

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.
