      1) climate change has obliterated our old models of "certainty" - we now live in a time of uncertainty. One example: insurance companies models are all over the place. They can no longer predict how often X or Y extreme weather events will occur. 3/

      3) how freak'n costly climate chaos is! Damn. But reading the replies in your "inverted yield curve" thread, maybe we can keep borrowing from ourselves and since our national debt doesn't really matter, it's not really something to worry about? 5/

      4) the inevitability of the carbon bubble pop. Fossil fuel companies' valuation is based on reserves of oil being used. But... if that were to happen, the results would be truly catastrophic. More and more people are realizing this, which shakes investor confidence. 6/

      And it's why I'm trying to closely follow shifts the fossil fuel to solar/wind transition. I'm an absolute novice in this subject, so trying to read and learn as much as I can - fast! Got excited about this 👇 8/https://twitter.com/emahlee/status/1162180541577220096 …

      THIS IS BIG. Fossil fuel use *could* peak before 2030. From @harrybenham_1, a 30 year Oil & Gas veteran, now in energy transition: "Ponder this a second: an energy system dominant for over 150 years is within about 4-5 years of being overthrown."

      The market is shifting; the carbon bubble pop is inevitable & it won't be pretty. Companies not planning for rapidly transitioning off of fossil fuels are putting themselves at risk. Central bankers, fund managers, global investors are raising the alarm. https://twitter.com/AlexSteffen/status/1120207762779099136 …

      Anywho, this thread is getting entirely too long. It's been hard to find those who are both finance experts AND understand the enormity of climate and its impacts. Most finance peeps still operate in the old paradigm that doesn't consider/ "get" climate. Merci! /end

      i do have a few thoughts in this but let me organize them. for one thing, for instance: action on climate-change is one thing that companies are judged on for “sustainability,” which is a hot topic in investing. Investors want sustainable companies. HOWEVER…

      …a lot of “sustainability” is just self-reported stats from companies, many of them meaningless. So companies can just say they’re sustainable without anyone really being able to check. There’s a lot more on this as well, I have some notes. Give me a couple of days! ty.

      Thanks! I became interested in this because I co-filed, along with other Amazon employees, a climate shareholder resolution (which then started a much bigger movement at Amazon). I began to think about the business / financial angle much more.https://twitter.com/emahlee/status/1074441121391042565 …

      I'm one of the Amazon employees quoted in this NYT article. I want to add to @kateconger's reporting and provide more context on WHY I decided to take this action and to be so public about it. Climate change is the issue of our lifetimes. 1/X https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/16/technology/tech-workers-company-stock-shareholder-activism.html …

          (Btw, I'm just gonna get out a bunch of thoughts – no need to respond.) I'd never filed a resolution (or even voted! as a shareholder). This was all new to me. But since I was taking this action, I wanted to think about any levers to make Amazon care / do something.

          And yes, totally understand limitations of self reported stats and that investors do want companies to be "sustainable". ISS and Glass Lewis sided with us on our climate shareholder resolution:https://twitter.com/emahlee/status/1126931128105951233 …

          🙌 This is a BIG WIN for the 7,300 Amazon employees asking the company to adopt our climate plan shareholder resolution! The two largest proxy advisors to institutional investors are siding with us! It's time for Amazon to stand with employees... and now its investors! https://twitter.com/AMZNforClimate/status/1126922811975409664 …

          Yes I noticed from your bio that you are passionate about this! IMO protest is excellent and it's a good thing to work from within too, bc companies often feel more obligated to stakeholders. Thinking abt it on a supply chain/logistics level is often useful to making the argument

          Yes –collective action works! Over 8,000 (mostly tech) Amazon employees signed our public letter asking Bezos for climate leadership. That # represents almost 12% of the US corporate workforce. NYT also reported on this (scroll up for link):https://twitter.com/emahlee/status/1116818334543048704 …
