money and fossil fuels

Clearly, the only thing these fossil fuel companies care about is money. Otherwise, they wouldn't be doing what they're doing. So we've got to try to hit them where it hurts-- in their wallets. This would involve:

1. a carbon tax, to drive their revenues down and their expenses up; and

2. an effort to get investors (particularly pension funds, universities, etc.) to divest themselves of fossil fuel stocks, thus driving down the stock price and so depriving them of the capital necessary to do their evil work.

Follow the money.
