.CalSTRS can't properly assess the climate risks in their portfolio if they can't gather correct, accurate data.

The 'data' that informs their position to stay invested in fossil fuels should also be questioned. Big cost to stay invested in these underperformers.

If CalPERS picks up the pace, it *could* lead the transition & send a message that exiting fossil fuels is not only fiduciarily responsible, but will help protect the planet for current + future members.

Speaking from deep knowledge of RBC's financing of coal, oil & gas, I can assure the Texas Attorney General that Canada's largest bank is not “boycotting” the fossil fuels industry.
Texas Attorney General you are welcome to use me as a character reference.

If the world sped up its efforts to tackle climate change, top fossil fuel bank Citi could lose billions.

No wonder Citi is warning AGAINST a rapid energy transition. 🤑🤑

Reminder that it's up to US to force banks to put people & planet over profit.
