This is 1000% retaliation in the form of collective punishment.

[Richard Brooks ☀️ @R_BrooksStand]

The CIO of @CalPERS talks up just transition and climate solutions investments but neglects to mention that the USA's largest state public pension has huge investments in likes of Exxon and dozens of other fossil fuel companies to tune of 10s of billion $.

"Days before a key committee hearing this week, its Chair, @AsmTinaMcKinnor, presented the bill's author w a lengthy list of non-negotiable amendments. The demands...read like a wish list written by the bill’s opponents, including the oil industry"

We see you, @TinaMcKinnor1. 🤨

What do you when you have a setback in a climate campaign? You get the @latimes editorial board to come out swinging for communities and climate, naming names.

We know who delayed the Fossil Fuel Divestment Act in #California. We will return.

Well, this sounds suboptimal

New study finds climate change likely to do $38 trillion in economic damage a year by 2050.

(Total current world gdp is $101 trillion)

This should bolster arguments and give even more strength to efforts to divest big state pension funds like #NewYork, #California, #Vermont and #Oregon

Very much in the spirit of @pontifex Francis, the San Diego Catholic diocese becomes the first in the country to divest from fossil fuels! @LaudatoSiMvmt @greenfaithworld @OperationNoah

Breaking: As #COP28 winds up, another pension fund announces it will divest from fossil fuels - saying they have no long term future.

Congratulations to the $3 billion Wiltshire Pension Fund - Thank you for your leadership

It doesn't matter your zip code, your tax bracket, or the color of your skin. Everyone needs air that's clean to breathe and water that's safe to drink. These are not luxuries reserved for the very rich.

Read @BarbaraLeeForCA's climate agenda here: https://t.co/KNM0CDFBvk

[Our Revolution @OurRevolution]

.@BarbaraLeeForCA is standing alongside her fellow Californians to reject #BigOil's shameful attempt to repeal SB 1137 and resume their deadly poisoning of families, schoolchildren, and nursing home residents.

[Barbara Lee @BarbaraLee_CA]

It is not a radical idea to suggest that clean drinking water and clean air should be the right of all Californians—regardless of their income or the color of their skin.

[Barbara Lee @BarbaraLee_CA]

Catastrophic wildfires. Devastating floods. Brutal droughts.

This is only the beginning of the horrors we will witness if the government continues to fail to act on the climate crisis.

President Biden must declare a climate emergency. Now.

[Fossil Free California @FossilFreeCA]

“It makes no sense that on one hand California is suing five major oil companies for climate-related damages to the state, while at the same time our state public pension funds are investing over $4 billion in these same companies. We should divest.”

Breaking: @NewYorkUni, one of the biggest private universities in the USA, divests $5 billion endowment from fossil fuels.

Big win for those who fought so long for this climate finance action. Congrats especially to @SunriseMvmtNYU !

@UTLAnow So true! @WeAreCTA has an incredible opportunity to help limit the power of fossil fuel companies by supporting SB252 (Fossil Fuel Divestment Act). Pls encourage UTLAers to sign petition in support of SB252 here: https://t.co/hMYY2l00bz Thx! @CtaDivest @FossilFreeCA

[Bill McKibben @billmckibben]

Important message from @ClimateHuman calling for Biden to declare a climate emergency. Listen to science

"You know you’re in trouble when the @churchofengland beats you to the progressive punchline." The Church divests from Big Oil but pensions like @Calpers @Calstrs believe that staying invested and talking oil execs is more impactful.

It's not.
