Divest from any kind of S&P500 or cool tech stocks. Invest in renewable energy projects. The US government is failing you, only money talks.
I think culture and politics is more important than divestment.

How do you think you will change culture or politics? In the US, money IS the culture. Politics go where the money goes.

It’s very hard. But a more direct lever than divestment. Utilities operate in very regulated environments. Changing regulation is the lever that matters.
Money can buy influence such as media and access to influence culture and politics. There’s a number of non-profits that work on this angle you could support. LCV, CCL, CATF etc.

#65Not saying its fake, just that what I see surprises me: ice is only slightly lighter than fresh or sea water, so vaguely only 10% of ice mass is above surface level; when it "flips" multiple times, it just seems like 50% of the ice is above water as if the other supporting 80% helping it float that high are totally missing...

#66Surprised the bottom of the iceberg crumbled so easily (like sand) at 4m 16s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UufMqwyO7pY&t=4m16s I'd have assumed it would be colder and more compacted (being toward the bottom and further under water), and therefore harder.
There are different ways to create an iceberg. You are probably thinking of a hard chunk of ice breaking off into the ocean, but probably a more common way is glaciers running into the ocean. A glacier is basically a "river" of snow and ice slowly flowing down a mountain. It would generally not be very compacted.
Fun fact: smaller chunks (less than 15m) are called "bergy bits".
