The University of California system is a leader in climate science, but that is in jeopardy if it continues to serve as an R&D center for the fossil fuel industry. It's time to clean up the oil spill in higher ed! My op-ed out today in The Sacramento Bee: sacbee.com/opinion/op-ed/…

Great interview of NaomiOreskes by @palumboliu. "[a]... consortium of people ... build an ideology that basically says we should trust the marketplace … to persuade people that government regulation ... will actually undermine freedom and democracy." creativeprocess.info/new-blog-82/sp…

Interested in fossil extraction & climate justice in South Africa? Patrick Bond & Desmond D'sa in CounterPunch explain that even as a $8.5bill rotten climate finance carrot is dangled, SA accelerates extraction in partnership with Macron, Scholz etal counterpunch.org/2022/12/05/wes…


Documents show that UC Berkeley is planning a 8MW fossil gas fuel cell which oxidizes methane to release CO2. That is NOT decarbonization or "clean energy". Sam Jackson Whiting & San Francisco Chronicle - can we get the facts straight? Sammy Roth, investigate? UCB claims to lead the UC.





Largest state-owned utility in U.S. must go 100% renewable by 2030, phasing out six gas power plants. New York takes big step toward renewable energy in ‘historic’ climate win theguardian.com/us-news/2023/m… lee ziesche @howarth_cornell Dr. HeidiHutner Dr. Sandra Steingraber 🏳️🌈 Guardian Environment

It's pretty incredible to see the institution ... hmmm... institutionalizing our win. We Chased Out Chase Bank! And now there is a Credit Union in its place - with minimal financing of fossil extraction. Stop the Money Pipeline @RAN





“We’ve won divestment, and now we’re in the middle of decarbonization. The next stage is complete dissociation from the fossil fuel industry.” wagingnonviolence.org/2023/05/divest… Green New Deal at UC San Diego



Strong writing by @jemersmith in the The San Diego Union-Tribune today! Whereas we have 20GW of rooftop potential in San Diego County, our investor-owned utility wants instead to build hugely expensive transmission lines to the backcountry, making profit from us ratepayers! sandiegouniontribune.com/news/environme…


As a veteran of the fossil fuel divestment movement, this just makes me😭 Why is San Diego Community Power (our community choice aggregator) using JP Morgan Chase for a $150 million credit agreement? Chase financed fossil extraction by $450 billion since 2016. sdcommunitypower.org/wp-content/upl…
