While HSBC refused to say whether Kirk was at risk of losing his job because of the comments, the bank’s asset management chief Nicolas Moreau said Kirk’s opinions ‘do not reflect the views of HSBC Asset Management nor HSBC Group in any way’.
He added: ‘HSBC regards climate change as one of the most serious emergencies facing the planet, and is committed to supporting its customers in their transition to net zero and a sustainable future.’
******* This is one cranky banker. I salute him for dropping this bomb.
He was on a roll till he he said he didn’t doubt the science...
Mr Kirk has been a banker for close to 30 years. He decried how many climate change regulations were making more work for him
He said: 'Human beings have been fantastic at adapting to change, adapting to climate emergencies, and we will continue to do so'
One wonders how they are going to “support” customers as they “transition”.
No coal, no gasoline, no diesel, no natural gas. This is all BS. I guess their customers can beat their laundry out with a stick down by the river. But HSBC will be there for them, or something.
