Report: Investments in Extreme Fossil Fuels Skyrocketed in Trump's 1st Year in Office
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A new report by the Rainforest Action Network has revealed that
investments in "extreme" fossil fuels have skyrocketed to $115 billion
globally amid President Trump's first year in office. Investments in tar
sands-one of the dirtiest fossil fuels-have more than doubled. The
report details how many investors and banks began increasing their
fossil fuel investments after President Trump promised to pull the
United States out of the landmark Paris climate accord.
