" #HSBC and #NatWest accused of financing #NorthSea #oil #extraction despite pledge
Two major #UK high street #banks have been accused of continuing to finance #FossilFuel expansion in the North Sea despite signing a pledge to align their activities with the net zero #climate goal.
HSBC and NatWest have provided tens of millions in finance to #Ithaca Energy, a #British oil and #gas company that is playing a key role in plans to exploit the controversial #Rosebank oilfield north-west of the #Shetland Islands. Another high street bank, #Lloyds, also provided finance but has since sold down the debt.
A group of more than 80 organisations including #GlobalWitness, #Greenpeace and the #RainforestActionNetwork have written to the banks’ chief executives calling on them to cease funding Ithaca and to end their relationship with the company."

The truth is, for Bank of America, it's not about the existential threat that JBS poses to the Amazon — and all of life on earth — it's all about the #money.
For the future of the Amazon,

Rio Grande LNG (liquid “natural” gas, or LNG) is a proposed methane gas export terminal slated for Brownsville, Texas, in the Rio Grande Valley. This project, and the proposed Texas LNG and Rio Bravo Pipeline, is a clear case of environmental racism with enormous, devastating impacts on community health, Indigenous rights, endangered species, and our shared climate. There’s nothing “natural” about methane gas expansion. Methane gas has more than 80 times the warming power of carbon dioxide over the first 20 years after it reaches the atmosphere. Methane is highly volatile, and this build-out poses especially dangerous explosion risks. Further, the Carrizo/Comecrudo Tribe of Texas, who are the original Indigenous people of the region, have not given their Free Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) for Rio Grande LNG. The proposed terminal will support the continued environmental racism in the Gulf by perpetuating the displacement, pollution, and physical harm of impacted communities. It is imperative that the supporting insurance companies listen to Indigenous and impacted communities. And time is running out for transformative action to tackle the climate crisis. Despite climate and community impacts and years of community resistance, Rio Grande LNG is set to move forward. Big Insurers like Chubb, Liberty Mutual, and Sompo have the power to stop this project by refusing to insure it and all methane expansion. They have a responsibility to listen to Indigenous and impacted communities and make crucial changes for people and the planet by publicly ruling out methane and Rio Grande LNG immediately, before the insurance renewal on March 1, 2024. We need meaningful climate solutions before it’s too late. Sign and send the petition to the insurers connected to this project: Listen to impacted communities and publicly drop Rio Grande LNG before the insurance renewal on March 1, 2024.

#Chase HAS to listen to #FrontlineCommunities, defund this build-out, and protect the #VerdeIslandPassage.
