On a busy day with actual good news, one more piece:
The Vatican just called for our planet's 1.2 billion Catholics to divest from fossil fuel stocks–indeed to 'shun' those companies. It is one of the great moments in a 10-year campaign–thanks to all!https://t.co/TM0azdP3Ur

This is asset stranding: "BP to write off up to $17.5bn of assets". It said "coronavirus will have a lasting impact on the global economy and energy demand and sees the pandemic only accelerating a global shift towards cleaner fuels". https://t.co/fqD8Lb8vIe via @financialtimes
