A treaty that lets #BigOil sue govs for introducing critical climate policies shouldn't exist.

#ElectricVehicles are part of the solution to #climate change. But the sheer growth of production of batteries for these vehicles is simply not sustainable. We need fewer and smaller cars, and more public transport. The battery boom visualised by @SOMO 👇

Big Pharma companies make obscene profits from the Covid vaccine, paid for with public money. It is not a market failure - it’s a policy failure.

ooit waren er 'sin funds' die in sigaretten, gokken en alcohol investeerden, de hedendaagse sin funds investeren in fossiele energie 🤷‍♂️ 'Ramaswamy haalde geld op bij onder anderen miljardair Peter Thiel voor een soort anti-ESG-beleggingsvehikel' https://www.groene.nl/artikel/boycotters-geboycot
Rechts Amerika cancelt groene beleggers

Na toiletten, seksuele voorlichting en M&M’s zijn in Amerika nu de pensioenpotten het onderwerp van de doorgeslagen waardenstrijd. Conservatieve staten dreigen financiële instellingen met rechtszaken en boycots als ze het wagen over klimaatdoelen te praten. Joe Biden zet deze week mogelijk zijn (eerste) veto in in de strijd rond ‘woke’ investeren.

UK Govt debt is £2.504trn, 99.5% of GDP;
household debt is £2trn; Corporate debt £2.5trn.

Govt wants to grow the finance industry by encouraging more debt. How much more?

Crazy policy will encourage reckless practices. End in crash.
