This tweet does a great job capturing an extremely widespread theory of change on the part of climate activists and science communicators. It also contains a cascade of false premises, broken logic, and unrealistic expectations.

Losses from climate change have yet to outpace gains from economic growth and reduced vulnerability from improving infrastructure.

Disasters are getting more intense, but very unevenly.
Temperature events are intensifying, but the global trend in hurricanes, floods, droughts, and tornados are flatter.

.@AmyG_Standearth kicks-off grounding us in how @TotalEnergies' EACOP risks harming the lives & livelihoods of millions.
"This is not just a climate issue. This is a climate justice issue." 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

While @TotalEnergies & those attempting to push through EACOP claim it will benefit local communities, a majority of the fossil oil of the world's largest proposed pipeline would be for export.😡

The weird sounding ‘London story’ was setup (2020) in ‘Netherlands’ by ‘South Asians’ Ritumbra Manuve and Imran Wali Ahmed, first as ‘Stitching the London Story’ (sic)!

Harvard’s decision to #divest its $40 plus billion endowment fund from fossil fuels is a precedent-setting event that warrants the attention of decisionmakers globally. Here’s why. 🧵
With help from @Climate_Defense, @DivestHarvard students did something that hasn’t been done before: filed a complaint with @MassAGO, arguing that Harvard’s investments in fossil fuels runs afoul of the university’s charitable mission. via @emilypont grist.org/climate-energy…
The complaint continued that the failure of Harvard to divest may be seen as a violation of the law. The issue needed to be vetted using the investigative resources of the @MassAGO. via @thecrimson thecrimson.com/article/2021/5…

We declared a Climate Emergency and then launched our Climate Change Action Plan – committing us to being zero carbon as a Council by 2027 and as a borough by 2041, with projects to green our housing stock, businesses, transport and energy generation 🌎🌹haringey.gov.uk/sites/haringey…
Between ourselves and our volunteer schemes, we have planted over 4000 new trees across the borough. Trees are very close to my heart, and I want them flourishing in Haringey!!
PM Modi: Govt has no business to be in business.
The Govt has to focus on development projects. When government engages in business it leads to losses.
The Govt is bound by rules and lack of courage to take bold commercial decisions.

PM Modi says the amount collected from #monetisation and #divestment will be used for funding development projects.
Asset monetisation and privatisation decisions will help empower Indian citizens, he adds.

This time, as a functioning thread: my first Twitter thread to reflect on @Stanford BOTs decision today re: #divestment. In sum, it is the kind of comprehensive approach endowments should be taking. 1/
news.stanford.edu/2020/06/12/tru…
news.stanford.edu/2020/06/12/tru…
The BOT essentially did 3 things. 1) they issued a statement that climate is an “urgent challenge” & @Stanford is committed to the goals #ParisAgreement (I called for this kind of statement in 2014. Took a while, but it's actually a big deal.) 2/

2)@Stanford committed to at least #netzero GHG by 2050 for both operations & investments &, importantly, to engage in research and collaboration to develop mechanisms to achieve net-zero. 3/

The Methodist Church announces its #divestment from BP and Total, but continues investing in 4 oil companies.
None of the major oil companies are aligned with the #ParisAgreement.

1. Great news: today, 42 faith institutions from 14 countries, including 21 in the UK, announce their #divestment from fossil fuels. This is the largest-ever fossil fuel divestment announcement from faith institutions. @CathClimateMvmt @Greenanglicans @WCCclimate @greenfaithworld
2. UK organisations divesting include @Oasis_UK, @JesuitsBritain, the Diocese of Arundel & Brighton @ABDiocese, 3 @UnitedReformed Synods, 4 @BritishQuaker meetings, 3 @MethodistGB churches, Westminster College Cambridge & several local churches @WestCollCambs
3. Today's #divestment announcement comes from institutions with a total of over £1.1 billion in assets under management.
1. Our new report, published today, calls on UK Churches to urgently divest from fossil fuels in response to the #ClimateEmergency. Read it now: brightnow.org.uk/resource/churc…
2. ‘Church investments in major oil companies: Paris compliant or Paris defiant?’ highlights the gap between the business plans of major oil companies and the #ParisAgreement targets.
3. It shows that #Shell and #BP intend to increase oil & gas production by 38% & 20% respectively between 2018 & 2030, when most #fossilfuels must stay in the ground if we are to limit global average temperature rises to 1.5°C @CarbonBubble
A thread on why #ESG +ethical #capitalism is going to define so much of #2020
- from the #CityofLondon + your pension fund, to #COP26
- #ESG + consequential actions, not #divestment, is the weapon in combatting #climatechange 1/ ftadviser.com/pensions/2019/…

In October 2019 the #ESG = Environment,Social, and Governance regs, which passed through @HouseofCommons on a x party basis a year earlier, became law: put simply they require investment to take due account of climate risk. More explanation here ⬇️ 2/

These last 7 days have shown how we are driving forward #ESG: - meetings with 100 pension trustees + asset managers in the city of London, discussions with Mark #Carney / #BankofEngland, the @AmntOrg +@UKSIF ⏩ pressure for the UK to comply with ESG 3/ google.co.uk/amp/s/www.city…
Thread: @BillGates claims fossil fuel #divestment has 'zero' climate impact, and #climatechange activists are 'wasting their time' lobbying investors to ditch #fossilfuel stocks ft.com/content/21009e…
@BillGates Gates: “#Divestment, to date, probably has reduced about zero tonnes of emissions. It’s not like you’ve capital-starved [the] people making steel and gasoline” ft.com/content/21009e…
@BillGates As @350 note: arguments against fossil fuel #divestment miss a larger point. The idea is not to starve companies of capital but to remove their “social licence to operate” & make it easier for Govts to act on climate issues by breaking #fossilfuel companies’ hold on politicians.
Apparently @andersoncooper #ClimateTownHall just cited my & @NaomiOreskes's peer-reviewed study showing how #ExxonKnew about the global warming dangers of its products decades ago, then turned around & orchestrated a massive disinformation campaign to mislead the public. THREAD.
2/n: First, it's pretty surreal (& brilliant!) to have @CNN suddenly covering the s*** out of the climate crisis, helping to #EndClimateSilence. Less fantastic is that it's behind a pay wall, meaning many of us (including moi) can't actually watch it.
3/n: Second, & even more surreal: Who could've imagined presidential candidates in any previous election out-bidding one another to call out the fossil fuel industry as a bad actor that must be held legally, financially, & socially accountable for their climate denial & damages?
