Despite the constant billion dollar severe weather disasters like the Los Angeles fires that are estimated will cost $275 billion and leave 75,000 without homes, financial institutions continue to invest in the fossil fuel industry – $6.9 trillion since the 2016 Paris Accords. They are hooked on short term profits at the cost of our children’s futures, despite numerous studies that have shown that funds without fossil fuels have a slightly stronger financial performance.
