The 80% Rule: Why We Must Leave Fossil Fuels In The Ground | Graham Elwood

In this video, Graham Elwood examines research from The Conversation and the University of Waterloo demonstrating that institutional divestment from fossil fuel corporations directly lowers share prices, shrinks exploration capital, and prevents catastrophic climate collapse by keeping carbon reserves in the ground.
