One part of this is the belief by some on the far Left that climate destruction can not be separated from capitalism itself—leading some to conclude that nothing happening at the highest levels of finance and business can ever represent meaningful progress in the climate fight.

Another part is that the worlds of finance/ financial markets, financial regulation, risk management, climate law, etc are both complicated and somewhat (at least to some degree, intentionally) opaque to outsiders. It takes work to see what's actually changing—and what's not.

Alex, can you say more about this? I'm wanting to learn as much as I can about "the tides shifting underneath "finance, insurance, liability etc." Or is this more of the brittle bubble you talk about?
