Western University has so far not pledged to divest from the fossil fuel industry.open letter"We'd really like to see the university join the growing divestment movement by disclosing and divesting its investments in the fossil fuel industry," said Carol Hunsberger, associate professor in the department of geography and environment."Divestment...can send a direct financial signal by withdrawing some funds from that industry," she said.
Carol Hunsberger is an associate professor in the department of Geography and Environment at Western University. "As part of Western's commitment to reduce the university's greenhouse gas emissions by at least 45 per cent by 2030 and to achieve net-zero by 2050 or sooner, we are aggressively pursuing the decarbonization of Western's investment portfolio," said Lynn Logan, Vice-president of Operations and Finance, in a statement on Tuesday.
Logan added Western will divest of any fossil fuel company by 2030 if it has not demonstrated "tangible progress toward realistic net-zero pathways, as these investments will not contribute to Western's long-term goals."

It’s weird how all of the commenters think that just because you drive you have to own stock in oil companies.
Will they also refuse to eat food that was delivered by truck?
Book learned but no common sense! So typical of the ‘woke’ garbage coming out of education institutions!
Good. Divestment is one of the best ways to press energy companies to speed up the transition out of fossil fuels.
😂 idiots
The left wing fringe is at it again. Do us all a favour and move to North Korea. You will divest from everything including food.
Ignorance from the place of higher learning.
Turn off the heat and put them out to fend for themselves on the banks of the Thames, with pre-industrial tools to supplement their Upper Canada pomposity.
Yea OK, stop the hypocracy please. hopefully they all stop using pens, shoes, lipstick, deodorant, eye glasses, driving to work, heating their homes, flying, painting their houses…on and on.
I refuse to give them an ounce of credit if even ONE of them owns a car or flys anywhere for vacations. The hypocrisy from most in politics, academia, and the media is unbelievable. I thought they were 'highly intelligent?' Open letters are pathetic also. Heroes. 🤣
Maybe they could tap into all that hot air coming out of Ottawa.

Yes we still need oil and gas. Doesn’t mean we should invest in companies who produce it.
Further proof, if any was needed that our universities are full of fanatical left wing ideologues that are untethered from reality. It would be interesting to see this 150 broken down by department.
So when Putin stiles the eastern seaboard with an EMP Nuclear blast and knocks out the entire eastern power grid for a decade that will the do?
Academia, the place where people hide from, and complain about the real world.
The pants and shirt they are wearing are made of fossil materials, so take off these clothes.
After they obtained scientific degrees, got jobs, and had enough income, they came to sell advice.
Would love to know the model of car they drive 😂
They should turn off the power too. 🤡
Will they stop using fossil fuels also? No laptops, iPads, or smartphones, no rubber tires on their bicycles, no fleece blankets, no natural gas heat… lead by example.
While they use fossils fuels every single day of their lives
We all think the same
We literally can’t have a modern society without fossil fuels and petroleum products. Wtf is wrong with these people?
So did the 150 'geniuses' have a plan? Beyond Canadians freezing to death. Didn't think so. Just because you have a secondary education, it does not guarantee you're smart.
Out of the 150 professors how many use a car to get to work? Use a bus?
Do they have cars? 🤔
They should invest the funds in Greta's education, which should return massive dividends.
I hope they freeze in the dark.
All that education signing one knuckle dragging letter.
Climate fanaticism on display. Universities are a hot bed for these types of extremists.
None of them should use fossil fuel. That would 'show them'
Sounds like a joke, doesn't it. Highly educated professors wanting their school to break away from fossil fuel 20 years after being shown that it causes global warming.
Do they all have wood burning fire places in their offices?
