Reporter: Trump said he could have gotten the hostages out without giving anything in exchange. What do you say to that?
Biden: Why didn't he do it when he was president?
I had been hailing @NYSComptroller as a climate hero. But despite a review that found Exxon to be a threat to the CRF, he has decided not not divest most of it due to a “tracking error.” Perhaps he is not the climate hero I had thought he was.
Breaking: @NYSComptroller misses the mark by only divesting $25m of $500 million from Exxon, neglects divesting from other majors
Bans new investments in fossil fuel exposed private equity, increase climate solutions investments to $40 billion

Another major fossil fuel divestment. Kudos to the Dutch. Noting for @NYSComptroller DiNapoli that this divestment includes Exxon, the single worst climate villain in the world.
Breaking: €238bn Dutch pension fund @PFZWnieuws has sold all but seven of its 94 remaining oil and gas cos including @bp_plc, #Exxon@Shell & @TotalEnergies. The holdings were valued at €2.8bn.
All have weak or no transition plans.

BREAKING: President Biden outperformed polls by 30 points in South Carolina, but the media still refuses to give him the credit he deserves. Retweet to show the media you are a proud Biden Democrat.
Halting LNG export projects is a major victory for the planet. But also an embarrassment for Canada's pension fund which had invested heavily. Pension funds--wake up! Fossil fuels are a losing investment in a world that is committed to transitioning to renewable energy.
1/ The White House's decision to halt all LNG export projects due to climate concerns means that @cppinvestments may gamble away US$100mn of Canadians' pension savings on a misguided plan to build an LNG terminal & increase fracked gas production. #cdnpoli https://t.co/55wjI7ET70
1600 institutions have now made divestment commitments. The world is waking up. Fossil fuels are killing the planet, and the companies that produce them putting profit over our health are evil. We need to fight these companies with every means we have, including divestment!
Not only is a world beyond fossil fuels possible, it’s happening right now—it’s time for fossil fuel executives and their financiers to stop holding us back, write @AmyGthe1andonly and @R_BrooksStand of @Standearth. https://t.co/Ui7Awfkgql
Exxon is the worst villain in the climate catastrophe story. And it is getting worse, as this rogue company deepens its commitment to fossil fuels and the destruction they cause. Responsible institutions need to stop doing business with Exxon.
.@billmckibben Exxon is spending $64.5 billion to buy one of the largest fracking operators in the world, showing its commitment to fossil fuels.
Tell @NYSComptroller@TomDinapoli 518 474-4044 to divest from Exxon

We live in a Kafkaesque world. NYC divests from fossil fuels to protect the planet and save the pension plan from inevitable losses as renewables replace fossil fuels, and a certifiable moron sues. NYC is being a responsible fiduciary. Sue the pensions that have not divested!
I knew this day was coming.
New York City is sued for doing the responsible thing and divesting its pensions from billion in fossil fuels.
Now #Trump's former labor secretary is leading a lawsuit against the pensions in a purely political attack.

Now at 88 sponsors across the Senate and Assembly. It's time to get this climate and pension protection bill through committees and to a vote!
