Rockefeller Family Fund Divesting from Fossil Fuels, Slams Exxon
----------------------------------------------------------------

The Rockefeller Family Fund has announced it is divesting from fossil
fuels, starting with its holdings of Exxon Mobil. The fund said that
given the realities of climate change, "There is no sane rationale for
companies to continue to explore for new sources of hydrocarbons." The
family fund singled out Exxon, criticizing the company of "morally
reprehensible conduct" for lying to investors and the public about its
knowledge of climate change.
