Here's a novel one- The New York Times reports this week that "Investors Seek Climate Change Information"
Investors worried about the possible financial fallout from greenhouse gas emissions have asked the Securities and Exchange Commission to require that companies disclose their financial vulnerability to changes in climate.

"Investors have a right to know if a company's buildings are in the path of hurricanes that might be exacerbated by climate change, or if it will face high costs when greenhouse gas emissions are regulated," said James Coburn, a policy adviser at Ceres, a coalition of investors and environmental groups that sent the letter. "They need that information to reduce their portfolio risk."
So, green (moneyed interests) meets green (environmentalists), giving new meaning to the Rodney King question, "Can't we all just get along?"
