"Fossil fuels companies are tobacco. No one wants to own their shares". Thats some strong language from a mainstream (if cartoonish) financial analyst. https://t.co/OvQI4BAOMc — Zeke Hausfather (@hausfath) January 31, 2020

Jim might be done with fossil fuels . . But his grand children more than likely will still be heating their abode with natural gas. I got a kick out of this one: Students demanded divestment from fossil fuels, a professor offered to turn off the gas heatingJohn Sexton Posted at 2:41 pm on January 31, 2020 Professor Andrew Parker of St John’s College at Oxford University is my new favorite person. The Times of London reports that a group of students wrote to Professor Parker to discuss demands being made by student protesters about fossil fuel divestment. His response wasn’t what they were expecting: Two students at St John’s College wrote to Andrew Parker, the principal bursar, this week requesting a meeting to discuss the protesters’ demands, which are that the college “declares a climate emergency and immediately divests from fossil fuels”. They say that the college, the richest in Oxford, has £8 million of its £551 million endowment fund invested in BP and Shell. Professor Parker responded with a provocative offer. “I am not able to arrange any divestment at short notice,” he wrote. “But I can arrange for the gas central heating in college to be switched off with immediate effect. Please let me know if you support this proposal.”
