      Biggest news in a long time. After a ton of pressure, Blackrock--which owns more fossil fuel stock than anyone on earth--announces it will put 'climate change at the center of its investment strategy.' A huge--if by no means final--win for activists! https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/14/business/dealbook/larry-fink-blackrock-climate-change.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage …

      Here's the CEO, Larry Fink: “The evidence on climate risk is compelling investors to reassess core assumptions about modern finance.” They are saying they will sell stock, reshape indexes, and vote for shareholder resolutions. This puts huge pressure on other players

      It also will require huge vigilance--my guess is they'll start with coal. That's no longer good enough: given the timeline of the climate crisis we need to be moving on oil and gas with the same speed.

      But make no mistake--this is a massive victory for a small band of fighters, including the folks @BLKsBigProblem and the #StopTheMoneyPipeline crew. It gives us enormous confidence as we take on the giant banks. When we start to fight we start to win

          Thank you, the activists who achieved this. It's smart money management for them, but you can often lead a horse to water....

          Perhaps Larry Fink could have a word with @JoeKaeser of @SiemensDE who just yesterday decided to go ahead with a contract to help Australia open a NEW coalmine. Yes, a new coalmine being opened in Australia should be a sick joke.https://time.com/5763678/siemens-australia-coal-mine-greta-thunberg/ …

          “When we start to fight we start to win”. I agree. Big economic actors are looking how much social pressure we impose on destructive industries. If we let up, or even stay the same, they’ll backslide. We have to ramp it up! https://www.aeinstein.org/nonviolentaction/198-methods-of-nonviolent-action/ … & https://www.aricmcbay.org/2019/05/08/what-is-full-spectrum-resistance/ …
