This leaves us with a loose collection of small banks and credit unions who aren’t financing fossil fuels
“Listen, we thought you dirty hippies might actually be winning and figured we’d be early betting on that horse. But then money was still in the planet killing juice, so we’d rather make all the money.”
We’ve had one Earth, yes— but what about second Earth?

While true, it’s guilt by omission not to remind people that Biden has thoroughly broken his campaign promise of “no more drilling on federal lands”, and in fact granted even more drilling permits then Trump did before him.
It is not guilt by anything, you are not obligated to derail other discussions with information linked to the topic tenuously at best.
OP is about climate change and funding petroleum. Parent comment was about US party politics. My comment brought up petroleum drilling permissions in a US party political setting. Why don’t you think that is related?
It’s a commercial enterprise, not a government one
But governments passed the bills against sensible business practices, by preventing lending money to fossil fuel companies, which are obviously in significant danger due to additional government regulation in other areas. Bloody Communists! Sorry Republicans.
The biggest problem is that this is global, so we are going to see large international banks also dropping similar language, due to the US market being massive and it being hard not to get sued over this.
Even still, surely the laws preventing them from refusing to invest in coal and other fossil fuels are uncosntitutional?
Oh my god, thats perfect, saved. =P
Bank of America announces new program where they go to the home of a customer picked at random and kill a puppy in front of them.
Shocking
Really showcasing BOFA’s ties to China 🇨🇳
Way to go Brian Moynihan, your grandchildren will certainly thank you later for this
Ha! Like his grandchildren will have a “later”…
I have mixed feelings about this one. On one hand, banks aren’t our friends. On the other, having ‘reluctant allies’ on a path towards a certain goal might be beneficial.
It’s possible to manipulate a capitalist into doing the right thing, as long as the right thing happens to be more profitable than the bad thing.
