"Canada’s big banks are still lighting the fuses of carbon bombs, pouring billions into fossil fuel financing during the hottest year on record.. It’s time for our government and regulators to step in." #fossilfuels #fossilbanks #emissions #ClimateCrisis https://www.nationalobserver.com/2024/05/14/news/canadian-banks-still-huge-fossil-fuel-investors
World Bank spent billions of dollars backing fossil fuels in 2022, study finds https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/sep/12/world-bank-spent-billions-of-dollars-backing-fossil-fuels-in-2022-study-finds?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
Oil stains spread far and wide. World Bank denies but lack of transparency makes accountability difficult.
So 2 acts to clean up then.
If you’re in Canada and want to talk to someone who ditched their #fossilbanks for a credit union, hmu

RBC, the largest financier of fossil fuels in the World, sponsoring this PGA Tour Event held on a golf course on the low lying sea shore of the Carolinas.
Doing its best to erase their own golf tournament. #ClimateAction #climateChange #FossilBanks #DivestfromFossilFuels

And if the banks would stop financing fossil fuel projects, it would go a long way to bailing out the planet from defaulting on carbon debt.

Over the past 1.5 years I started closing all my accounts at BMO and CIBC including my first savings account. We’ve closed or moved credit lines and cards. Just yesterday I put in the paperwork to have my RRSP accounts moved (fee-free!). We’ve created a new financial home at sustainability minded credit union VanCity. Just a couple more items on the checklist to go and we’ll be able to close the last account and say goodbye to Fossil Banks for good! It can be done!

New poster I designed as part of Brandalism's campaign to highlight the empty climate promises of HSBC and other #FossilBanks. Massive thanks to everyone who installed it in bus stops and billboards around the UK.

‘Better broken windows than broken promises’ – Extinction Rebellion women break windows at Barclays HQ in Canary Wharf
On Wednesday 7th of April at 7am seven women from Extinction Rebellion carefully cracked the glass in the windows of Barclays HQ in Canary Wharf, London. The women wore patches reading ‘better broken windows than broken promises’ and placed stickers on the windows of the bank reading ‘in case of climate emergency break glass’ before carefully hitting the glass with hammers and chisels. The women took great care to ensure the safety of bank staff, fellow activists and passersby. They then sat down next to the broken windows and waited to be arrested.
The action, part of XR’s Money Rebellion, draws on a history of civil disobedience and follows in the footsteps of suffragettes, and the Ploughshares movement: using nonviolent direct action, causing damage to property to prevent and draw attention to greater damage.
Eine starke Aktion um auf den Beitrag der Banken zur #Klimakrise hinzuweisen. Folgt auch @money_rebellion und @urgewald beide haben gute Kampanien die zeigen wo die Probleme im Finanzsektor liegen.

“In a lifecycle analysis by the U.S. Department of Energy, tar sands were shown to create 22 percent more climate pollution than conventional crude oil”- we think #HSBC and #Barclays should stop funding this. Agree? @money_rebellion@twitter.com #FossilBanks https://tinyurl.com/yxbx3gsa
