Dr. Luella Allen-Waller

The evidence is clear: rampant fossil fuel use is incompatible with keeping so much that we all value. My priorities include protecting the lungs of my loved ones, building a more equitable global society, preventing a climate refugee crisis, and simply keeping the places I love from burning. Professionally, as a coral reef biologist, I have seen firsthand the devastation that warming oceans wreak on sensitive animals that build the literal bedrock of the marine food chain. Every island, town, or person we can save is worth saving, so we must work to prevent every 0.1 degree of warming we can. Divestment is a moral imperative because money is the only language spoken by the corporations responsible for greenhouse gases endangering our ways of life (plus the lives of millions of other species). UChicago must use its voice. Anything less is reckless endangerment of our community.
