This is fine….

You may have seen some of the news reporting of severe world weather events spread over the past few weeks.
When you group them all together the situation is a little more evidentiary to the impending badness of climate change. Remember, this is only mid May. The northern hemisphere is yet to enter the full impact of summer.

Meanwhile…the banks.

The Guardian Newspaper reports that the world’s top banks have funded the fossil fuel industry nearly SEVEN TRILLION dollars since the Paris Agreement in 2016.

Researchers for the Banking on Climate Chaos report, now in its 15th edition, analysed the world’s top 60 banks’ underwriting and lending to more than 4,200 fossil fuel firms and companies causing the degradation of the Amazon and Arctic.
Those banks, they found, gave $6.9tn in financing to oil, coal and gas companies, nearly half of which – $3.3tn – went towards fossil fuel expansion. Source.

To put that in context….if I were to donate one million dollars to a fossil fuel company every single day since Jesus was born….I would still not have spent ONE trillion.

The banks gave SEVEN.
