@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca No. The answer is no. Master Carney said things are too delicate right now, economically, to worry about the climate. First you need to sort out the economy (has the economy ever been sorted?) then you're allowed to worry about the environment. Yes yes, we'll all have nice things after. You'll see. Those nice things promised for these last many decades are just around the corner. This time for real.

@zazzoo@mstdn.ca @chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca I like my governments to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time. Maybe if he can’t juggle both he’s in the wrong job.

@zazzoo@mstdn.ca @chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca Canadian banking investments finance climate disaster .. "The Canadian Big Five’s financing deal flows inverted this ratio in 2020-2022 to 3.9 to 1 in favor of fossil fuel financing. 16.9% of all facilitated financing assessed went to oil, gas, and coal companies, compared to just 4.3% to companies identified as green. The Big Five’s ratio of financing fossil fuel companies over green is significantly higher than that of leading US (2.8 to 1) and European (2.0 to 1) banks. BMO had the highest fossil-fuel-to-green ratio at 6.8 to 1, while Scotiabank had the lowest at 3.0 to 1." Carney recognized climate change is/will have impact on finance and insurance. But he's arguing banks and economy first, financed by ordinary Canadians who haven't profited from any of this. https://influencemap.org/report/Canada-s-Big-Five-Banks-26501 https://archive.ph/klJmW#selection-831.0-831.190
