“The overall security level for all Brawker users has just gone up,” reads Brawker’s latest blog post. Brawker is a service that matches up a bitcoiner who wants to buy something online with their bitcoins and a credit card holder who wants bitcoins. The credit card holder buys the product and gets bitcoins in return. The bitcoin user gets a discount of up to 20% on the product they want. Following the decentralized design that characterizes Bitcoin, Brawker has just switched to multi-signature transactions. If you’ve used Brawker before, this new implementation isn’t going to make your experience using the platform any different, but this under the hood change is a huge one.

The fossil fuel divestment campaign is gaining traction on campuses, churches and at other organisations, but you can take action on your personal pension and bank account too. Here, three people explain how and why they divested

Paul Mathias, 62, is from Northwich in Cheshire. A retired immigration officer, he has been campaigning on climate change for the past decade.

As Paul Polman [CEO of Unilever] said last week there will be no economy if we do not tackle climate change. Divestment needs to be promulgated widely as an antidote to the prevarication of our governments who talk, talk and talk some more while allowing emissions to go on rising, and cannot see beyond growth of GDP nor shake off the stranglehold of the corporations. Once you realise that large financial institutions are so committed to investment in the extraction industries, so the need to tell them they cannot expect to use our money anymore to do that becomes clear.

Moving to Nationwide was extremely easy. They score well on ethical money and have a local branch. Moving my stocks and shares ISA obviously needed research but was still perfectly doable.

Snow was trucked in this February for the Canmore Winter Festival. Many local fundraising events, such as ski races, have seen decimating attendance or been cancelled outright this winter. For a town that gained international notoriety for hosting Nordic ski races for Calgary’s 1988 Winter Olympics, the lack of winter here is crushing revenue sources dependent on winter weather. Locals are referring to it as “the winter that never happened.” The North American media does not often cover climate issues. You are hard pressed to even find the words “climate change” in public print. To bring it up in conversation ruffles feathers, you can feel it dividing the crowd; those that shrink from the very term as if you were asking for spare change.

I have asked for green/ethical portfolios before and received the same brick walls and platitudes. Once I mentioned Carney’s recent announcements to the UK bank and drew his attention to the Guardian’s divestment campaign, he took more note.

We live in a community very interested in the environment – it’s a no brainer for him to place himself ahead of the curve. Obviously my finances are relatively insignificant, what I do find significant is the ripple of awareness this has had up his chain of command.

Even though I’d been concerned about climate change for a while, it [the article] really seemed to simplify the issue for me. Here in Canberra, the Australian National University made a decision to divest from some fossil fuel companies, and it caused a massive political backlash that nobody seemed to expect. So the campaign obviously touched a nerve!

Many people don’t even realise that they are invested in fossil fuels indirectly through their pension funds. From my experience here in Australia, super funds are usually chosen by employers, and most people just go with the flow and stick with that, not realising that they have a choice. Sadly, we’re at a point where our choices now will have ramifications for hundreds, if not thousands of generations to come, and I see fossil fuel divestment as a way that ordinary people can collectively make an important statement about how we want the future to look.
