Money talks - @NYCComptroller puts billions of business they do with Blackrock on the line, in an attempt to get the world's largest asset managers to stop backsliding on climate action. Because we can't fight the climate crisis without them. Good on him.

Two interesting charts. 1 day (Friday) and 5 day (last week) performance of the S&P500 compared to the S&P500 ex-Energy (no fossil fuel companies) and Energy companies who are part of the S&P500. If your portfolio has fossil fuel exposure, last week's rollercoaster hurt you worse
👏 Congrats to NYC pensions & @NYCComptroller for surpassing some of their key climate targets! As one of the biggest pension systems in the US, this is MAJOR progress that others should follow.
