Business Insider: Warren Buffett doesn't think climate change is a major worry for Berkshire Hathaway shareholders. In his latest letter to holders, Buffet addressed the topic of climate change as there is a proxy proposal for Berkshire to discuss how climate change could affect its insurance business at its upcoming meeting.
