*Fossil fuel investors seek risks disclosure 
<http://climatenewsnetwork.net/fossil-fuel-investors-risks-disclosure/>*

    Investors in the oil majors, already stung by a tumble in the value
    of their holdings due to the global slump in oil prices, say the
    fossil fuel companies − in particular, Exxon, the most powerful in
    the world − are failing to disclose vital financial
    information....That information primarily concerns "frozen assets" –
    fossil fuel reserves held by the oil companies that must remain in
    the ground if the world has any chance of combating the worst
    effects of climate change and meeting the targets set out at last
    year's Paris climate conference...."It's a potential tipping point
    not just for Exxon, but for the industry as a whole"  .... The US
    government's Security and Exchange Commission (SEC), which oversees
    financial regulations and seeks to protect the interests of
    investors, says companies such as Exxon must give their shareholders
    financial information on the risks to their operations posed by
    climate change. http://www.ceres.org/

    overnight. .."Climate change is almost perversely designed to be
    really hard to solve politically. It is a problem that creeps up on
    you," Obama said.
