As one journalist put it: the engineers knew, the scientists warned, and the decision was made not to act. ๐Ÿ’ฐ What you can do: Check whether your retirement savings are invested in fossil fuels. Free tools like Fossil Free Funds (US and Canada), Ethical Consumer (UK), and Market Forces (Australia) make it fast and easy to find out. Then, take action.
