Building Climate Finance Action. Public and employer-sponsored retirement funds. Educating and supporting youth.

This is one of the most inaccurate and unpatriotic statements I’ve heard from a US senator in a long time. I’m just going to assume that this clip was taken out of “context “. Really can’t believe that an American elected official would blame our country for Putins invasion of Ukraine

@DaveNadig @dimensional I wonder if public pension fund beneficiaries would generate the same preferences.

@alex_avoigt That would be very good and fair. But the tobacco industry affects individuals. The FF industry is imbedded in a systemic issue that involves multiple sectors of the economy.

@ProfMarkMaslin @richardabetts @MichaelEMann @KHayhoe @ShookaBidarian @RGS_IBG @DrSimEvans @SiOldridge @fionaharvey @BBCJustinR @WillGompertzBBC It is inconceivable that some economists believe nothing much will happen to investor portfolios at +4C. To many economists, the approach pioneered by Dr. Nordhaus was increasingly out of step with the urgency https://t.co/kqVAZZ4kmM

The US climate movement doesn't agree on how to decarbonize - and in the wake of the IRA, that disagreement threatens to shatter the coalition.

To keep the climate coalition together, we have to start talking about, and negotiating around, this disagreement. 🧵 1/

“None of the observed changes so far (with a 1.2C temperature rise) are surprising. But they are more severe than we predicted 20 years ago, and more severe than the predictions of five years ago. We probably underestimated the consequences.” https://t.co/JCTMq3sEBu

🚨These are not photos of Mars. This is a TC Energy gas pipeline that just exploded in Virginia. And TC Energy is planning to *expand* this pipeline, increase its pressure and send *more* gas through it. @billmckibben @MarkRuffalo @PHMSA_DOT

Florida wants to teach about "skills" slaves obtained in the antebellum south because "beneficent" slaveholders taught their slaves to read, write, blacksmithing, etc. They say this is supported by "scholars." Well, let's see what the scholars really say.../1

“For those of you who are interested in statistics, this is a five-sigma event. So it's five standard deviations beyond the mean. Which means that if nothing had changed, we'd expect to see a winter like this about once every 7.5 million years.” https://t.co/NnVnjRtc8W

@krassenstein @WriteRabbitHole This effort is important and is in direct opposition to what Florida is doing with its American History education.

Some conservative states are making it more expensive to do sensible projects for their residents. The attacks on sustainable investing and the FIs offering financing is political theatre. #FreedomtoInvest https://t.co/R8DhDX5vV2

Financial Times editor: We need a new Marshall Plan on #climate. There’s too much to do, and given the urgency and the need to get the solution right, this isn’t a task for your favourite ESG-focused portfolio manager or the tech bros. The sheer scale of the physical infrastructure that must be revamped, demolished or replaced is almost beyond comprehension. Governments, not BlackRock, will have to lead this new Marshall Plan. And keep doing it. The western nations that did so much of the damage will have to finance the transition in the developing world — it is astonishing that this idea is still debated. Massive deficit spending will be necessary, not a new ETF. For all the cleantech advances and renewable deployment in recent decades, fossil fuels’ share of total global energy use was 86 per cent in 2000 and 82 per cent last year. Capitalism won’t deliver the energy transition fast enough . . ." Derek Brower, US energy editor of the Financial Times

It becomes clearer and clearer that ⁦@Shell⁩ will not shift to a different type of energy company. Is this new renewables team simply for show? https://t.co/zFLeHENZGB
