Democrats call on US financial regulators to do more on climate
The Hill ^ | 06/14/2024 | RACHEL FRAZIN

Nineteen Democrats and one independent are calling on U.S. financial regulators to do more to address financial risks posed by the changing climate.

The lawmakers, led by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Rep. Sean Casten (D-Ill.), wrote to leaders of the Federal Reserve, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) on Thursday to call for more action.

“The United States’ lack of progress and innovation in establishing robust measures to address the financial and economic risks from climate change places us behind our international peers and is counterproductive to American interests,” they wrote, in a letter first shared with The Hill.

The letter particularly raises concern about a report from Bloomberg that said American regulators upended an effort to make climate risk more of a focus in international financial rules.

“We urge you to take decisive action on climate risk and to cease your obstruction of progress on global financial rules,” the Democrats wrote to the regulators.

They want to de-bank and destroy energy companies.

What could go wrong?

“Call on?”

In otherwords, “YOU WILL COMPLY.” And what are the odds this is coinkydinky that the Canadian commies also called in banks to demand they do more for “climate” by ending funding for energy production.
