I own these companies though index funds. I want banks and insurance companies I am invested in to make profitable business decisions within the law, not to fight climate change. CEOs with political goals should resign and run for office.

When the true climate science is proclaimed, I predict that the effect of “fossil fuels” (a misnomer) will be shown to be negligible.

Time to hold the climate fraudsters to account and ensure they have no fossil fuel transportation or home utilities.

Some people are putting all the money on plastic bottled water to let koalas and roos sip on in Australia

Just don’t invest in them plastic straws, that would be bad! Lil koala could choke on that

It’s time to start calling this what it is... the “climate change superstition.”

I suspect they’ll REGRET their move as tensions increase in the Middle East...although it’s still early.

If the executives of those companies still want to use electricity, they’d best be funding and insuring nuclear power. Republicans need to be calling for those executives to be at the back of the rationing line when the shortages arise.

It would be a great opportunity for people to start a bank and cater to the 2nd amendment companies and oil companies.

So, still thinkin’ “2ND Amendment Bank of the U.S.” could add some oil industry folks to the portfolio. Anybody got some capital?

I noticed some robo investors have funds that are “socially repsonsible”, which doesn’t invest in oil, all the “bad things”, etc. That’s fine as that is an individual investor investing their money.

This on the other hand is fairly dumb for major banks to leave money on the table. At least it seems that way on the surface. I’m sure they may be investing through other means/banks, while giving themselves cover for the politics of it. If not, the money vacuum will be filled by someone (e.g. ChicComs, super wealthy) as the world still is operating on fossil fuels.

Americans will use the power of the purse once again and these fools will suffer the consequences of their fecklessness and balless existence

This makes me wish I hadn’t retired. The companies are quite vulnerable to breach of fiduciary duty and negligence suits by their stockholders. Only public pension funds can get away with such games.

There is no such thing as fossil fuel, nor 11 million undocumented workers.

The silver lining to this is I own some coal stock that is paying a 19% dividend, and the share price has been beaten so low that it would be hard to dip.

My future investment strategy is to bet against the Greenies. People like to have heat without brownouts.
