An advanced methane-sensing satellite promised a new era of climate accountability before researchers lost contact with the spacecraft last year. Now, previously collected data from the spacecraft shines a light on oil and gas industry pollution. insideclimatenews.org/news/0…

Nearly a year after the Environmental Defense Fund lost contact with an $88 million satellite, data from the spacecraft reveal higher-than-expected methane emissions from the oil and gas industry.

Little note for you here @RBC 👇 "We know fossil fuels are the No. 1 cause of climate change, and some of the biggest funders of the fossil fuel industry are Canadian banks." #RBCisKillingMe nationalobserver.com/2023/03… via @NatObserver

I learned about the role of banks in supporting climate change, and then I moved my money to green investments. Last year, my portfolio beat the oil and gas markets.

And as an MIT'25 parent, I second @howarth_cornell. At least, @MIT (and @mitenergy) should stop taking fossil fuel money now and follow @Harvard & @BU_Tweets' lead to divest its foundation from fossil fuels. CC: @MitDivest @DivestHarvard @DivestBU

Replying to @MIT
🙏In the spirit of hearing views and making MIT better, hopefully Dr. Kornbluth will work with @MitDivest and set MIT on a path to dissociating its endowment from fossil fuel investments.

I'm an @MIT alum who is deeply concerned. I loved my time there, full of creativity, collaboration, innovation. But this regressive and harmful attachment to fossil fuels + extractive power taints my experience as superficial. Divest, detach, and decarbonize now. cc @MitDivest

.@ExxonMobil tried to recruit Harvard and MIT students. It didn't go very well.

Exxon Comes to Cambridge

ExxonMobil is lying to students. So Harvard and MIT students shut down its recruiting event — because a company destroying our futures shouldn't be welcome on campus.

Students know that as employers go, when can do better than ExxonMobil. So why do our universities maintain such tight relationships with Big Oil? @Harvard and @MIT: Time to break up with Exxon now.
