The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warns that humankind has ten years left to avoid catastrophic harm and tipping points of no-return, adding that nothing short of "rapid and far-reaching transformation of our energy system" is needed. It is immoral to provide financial support for or to seek to make money from an activity that is destroying the planet. Continued investment in fossil fuels puts the fund at risk. Students have taken to the streets demanding climate action. The fund must support the students in their goal for a sustainable future. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/divest-ny-teachers-from-climate-destroying-fossil-fuels
