University of California Divests $200 Million from Fossil Fuels 
----------------------------------------------------------------


 
The University of California has announced that it has sold off more
than $200 million worth of investments in coal and tar sands companies.
University officials say the move was prompted by concerns over
environmental sustainability as well as the increasing riskiness of
investing in the coal and tar sands industries, which have both seen
their profits plummet in recent months. We'll have more on climate
change and the divestment movement with renowned climate activist Bill
Mc Kibben later in the broadcast.
