The council said the decision builds on earlier moves to divest from fossil fuels, weapons, tobacco, nuclear power, and other industries it considered unethical.

Via fossil fuels, we have such a high baseline level of prosperity that we can invest in cleaner energy solutions. We can take risks and spend years and billions of dollars conducting research.

Fossil fuels, such as coal, gas and petroleum, accounted for the remaining 19.1 percent.

Heating costs for homes that use fossil fuels are largely derived from commodities prices, the EIA added, and a glut of natural gas and propane heading into the winter months should keep prices flat for those fuels.

This alleged deception led consumers to use more of the fossil fuel products than they otherwise would have, which contributed to climate-related damages, they say.
