Brussels in March passed the 2040 climate target — 90% net reduction versus 1990 levels. Brussels in April agreed to import $750 billion of American oil and gas by 2028. Both facts cannot be true. The Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive was gutted in December under pressure from ExxonMobil, JPMorgan, and a US Ambassador who called it "economic suicide." Over 400 Inflation Reduction Act grants terminated. The Endangerment Finding dismantled. The US absent from COP30 in Brazil — the first time since 1995 no delegation went. https://twp.ai/9OWdYB calls it the most significant setback for US climate policy to date. The predatory financial machinery learned long ago: you don't repeal climate law. You make the trade terms worse than the law.

Good Idea: Change to a climate friendly Bank this weekend

https://www.not-ship.com/banks-are-funding-climate-chaos-you-dont-have-to-2/

Your bank might be doing more damage to the climate than flying. In 2024, banks poured $869 billion into the fossil fuel industry, a huge jump from the year before, funding the companies building pipelines and drilling for oil around the world. A major banking alliance that had committed members to move away from financing high-emission sectors fell apart last year when nearly every top fossil-fuel-funding bank pulled out.

According to a report by Project Drawdown, banking with a carbon-intensive U.S. bank means you could be indirectly lending 20 to 30 percent of your money to the industries most responsible for the climate crisis. The carbon footprint of where you keep your cash can actually outweigh the impact of flying. The good news is that switching matters. Moving just $8,000 from a high-carbon bank to a low-carbon one can cut your personal emissions by twice as much as going vegetarian.

Banks are funding climate chaos. You don't have to.

Switching banks could be one of the most climate-friendly decisions you make.
