Divestiture Is Nothing but a Distraction.

An opinion piece is presented in which the author discusses disinvestment, or the selling of stocks, by U.S. colleges and universities for companies who produce carbon-based fuels that allegedly contribute to climate change. Topics discussed include the 2014 decision by Stanford University to divest in coal, the role that can be played by college students in changing social and political policy, and the author's belief that a coalition will be needed to stop climate change.
