The ever persistent John Woodside w/ @NatObserver continuing to dig into where Canadian taxpayer dollars have been buried in the #Transmountain tar sands pipeline boondoggle. Worth the read. Trigger warning: you will be angry. #cdnpoli #Election2025 nationalobserver.com/2025/04/09/new…

Royal Bank of Canada annual shareholder meeting today with the delegation who went in and supporters to challenge the bank about their fossil fuel financing record and their lack of adequate climate action. RBC is a massive financier of tar sands and #LNG expansion projects.

Because we live in a dystopian time, it makes sense to plant sequoias in abandoned Detroit lots. Maybe a glimmer of something positive here? Or just confirmation that we're so f&cked? Happy Earth Day. #EarthDay cbc.ca/news/canada/wi…

Money talks - Office of New York City Comptroller Brad Lander puts billions of business they do with Blackrock on the line, in an attempt to get the world's largest asset managers to stop backsliding on climate action.

Canada's biggest bank Royal Bank has abandoned its sustainable finance targets and further walked back its climate commitments. Ball is now in Prime Minister Mark Carney's court to regulate and incentivize them into action. #Election2025 theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…

Remember when banks were scrambling to respond to climate activist pressure. In Feb 2021, Royal Bank of Canada announced they would put $500 billion into Sustainable Finance by 2025. Yesterday they abandoned that goal. Oh the good 'ol days. reuters.com/sustainability…

Japanese and Alaskan climate advocates are coming together to tell Prime Minister Ishiba to refuse pressure to invest in Trump's pet project, Alaska liquified natural gas (LNG). The project is expensive, impractical, and would be ruinous for our climate. s.nikkei.com/43cfVke

What's one of the world's top global bankers who understands climate change and is now Prime Minister of Canada to do when the country's biggest bank backtracks on climate action? My take in Ricochet Media. What do you think Mark Carney? #cdnpoli ricochet.media/climate/climat…

Competition law experts weigh in on RBC abandoning its so-called Sustainable Finance target and climate disclosures and blaming the Competition Act. I believe the experts. #cdnpoli #greenwashing theglobeandmail.com/business/comme…

BREAKING! Banks poured a staggering $869 BILLION into fossil fuels in 2024. The new #BankingOnClimateChaos report is out. It's not good. During the hottest year on record, banks increased their financing of coal, oil and gas. Its unconscionable. Read: bankingonclimatechaos.org

What a way to go out. #OZZY

Wells Fargo is complicit in climate crimes. Time to step up the pressure. Banks are funding the expansion of fossil fuels, growing climate pollution and contributing to climate-fueled disasters likes floods and fires. They've got blood on their hands. theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j…

Special guest on today's Boiling Point podcast! I chatted with Hannah Einbinder, star of "Hacks" and one of Hollywood's loudest climate advocates. We talked about the LA fires, climate comedy and a new campaign to get SAG-AFTRA to divest from fossil fuels: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tak…

Thanks to Pete Sikora and New York Communities for Change for the conversation on my vision for how the New York State Comptrollers office can be used as an agent for positive environmental change while maintaining its number one priority: fiduciary responsibility.

The NYC pension funds divested from oil & gas years ago. Yet Thomas P. DiNapoli keeps pouring our money into oil & gas companies. Last time we checked, he’d lost ~$20 billion on the likes of Exxon. Raj Goyle’s giving 👍 to DivestNY today is great for our planet AND our pensions👏
