Ideas may travel from the top down, but the movements that put them into effect have to work from the bottom up. I am encouraged to see young people trying to bring about positive change. Confident because their efforts are based on truth and reason—therefore they will succeed.
#Hats and #Mitres off to our friends in the Scottish Episcopal Church @secsynod for voting to #divest from #fossilfuels. A vote for #creation, a vote for #life, a vote creating momentum following the URC @urcmedia decision to divest in May.
I wonder, which Church is next?
Jan 2019 - Australia suffers yet more record high temperatures and extreme drought
June 2019 - one of the world's biggest coalmines is given the go-ahead in Queensland
Is no-one in the Australian government joining the dots? #climatecrisis

Big beautiful news from the UK, where the United Reformed Church--already divested from coal and tarsands--has voted to sell off all its fossil fuel holdings! Thanks to @OperationNoah and all else who worked so hard!

It's kind of hard to imagine church leaders watching this remarkable video and deciding they'd still like to go on trying to profit off fossil fuels. Many thanks to all who made it!
Bank of England issues stark new warning about $20 trillion in "stranded assets" from "unburnable carbon." Really is time to divest, folks
