<P><STRONG>Crude moves:</STRONG> Activists worldwide are challenging banks
and financiers to stop new fossil fuel projects. Now their sights are on
stopping South African and Japanese banks from funding a crude oil
pipeline in East Africa.</P>
<P>It would run 1,443 kilometers through the Lake Victoria basin and
threaten the climate, wildlife and livelihoods of people across Uganda and
Tanzania.</P>
<P>So far, the banks have ignored opposition from local groups in both
countries — but a strong public outcry could stop them before Uganda’s
government makes the deal. Add your voice by signing the petition now, and
check out the video at the end of this newsletter for more on this
struggle.</P>

<P><STRONG>World Economic Failure:</STRONG> In contrast to billionaires
flying in on private jets, 1,200 climate activists hiked in to Davos

<P>At the forum, business and political leaders were more vocal about the
climate crisis than ever before. But it’s clear from their lack of

<P>A tenured philosophy professor resigned after his university refused to
divest from fossil fuels for the third time. “What it boiled down to, for
me, was a matter of conscience,” said Gregory Mikkelson, formerly from
McGill University in Montreal, Canada. <A
