SW Divestment Forum: Margaret River, 16 Oct 2014

Posted on:  17 Sep 2014    Posted in:  Ethical/ RI, Events, News

350.org invites people of the South West to this forum in the lead up to National Divestment Day on 18th October 2014.

The fossil fuel divestment movement is sweeping the nation.

This grass roots campaign is now branching into the collective power of individual statements of personal divestment. This is your chance to speak with conviction about the world you would like to invest in by divesting your funds from fossil fuels.

SW Divestment Forum      Date: Thursday 16th October, 6pm      

In short: it just doesn’t make sense for individuals to hold stock in fossil fuel companies while understanding the consequence of climate change. The one thing we know the fossil fuel industry cares about is money. Collectively, we invest a lot of it. If you help to lead a personal divestment campaign focused on the stigmatization of these bad actors – weakening their political capital – we can help the momentum of climate solutions and sustainable economies. This was a key part of how the world ended the apartheid system in South Africa, and we hope it can have the same effect on the climate crisis.

Research shows that there are more fossil fuels sitting in reserves of fossil fuel companies than we can afford to burn if we are to prevent dangerous climate change. Those unburnable assets are valued as if climate change and pending regulation does not exist. The market is sitting on a potential depression sized overvaluation bubble – making the subprime crisis seem trivial. The “carbon bubble” is as real as the alternative – devastating climate change impacts.
