Unlucky Planet?

On the very day when many people representing many generations were protesting, in London and elsewhere,  about the lack of political action on climate change, paper and TV reports were dominated by the fire in Paris' Notre-Dame cathedral. The importance of climate change, even to banking, has been emphasised by a joint article by the head bankers of France and the UK (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/apr/17/mark-carney-tells-global-banks-they-cannot-ignore-climate-change-dangers). Climate change will have devastating impacts on the planet that contrast with damage to an ancient, well-loved religious icon but the political and financial responses to the fire seem light-years ahead of any action, thus far, to save current life on the planet.
