Fake Indian Elizabeth Warren as been going after Wall Street (while making lots of money from it) since she came into office, and now she’s doing the whole “let’s blame ‘climate change’ schtick to drag in some climate cultists. Of course, she’s just preaching to the choir
Senator Warren urges crackdown on Wall Street over climate change
Senator Elizabeth Warren accused the financial services industry of being a major contributor to climate change and urged U.S. regulators to hold it to account.
Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat, cited a study by the Sierra Club and the Center for American Progress, which shows that eight of the biggest U.S. banks and 10 of its largest asset managers combined finance about 2 billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions. That’s about 1% less than what Russia produced.
“The volume of greenhouse gas emitted by the financial-services industry is outrageous,” she said in a tweet. “If it were a country it would rank as the fifth-largest emitter in the world.”
“Regulators,” she added, “need to crack down.”
Why is this the business of the federal government? Why is it hers? First, if she doesn’t like it, introduce a bill giving the Executive Branch that authority. See if she can get it passed. But, 2nd, the Constitution doesn’t authorize the federal government this power. 3rd, why is this her business? If she doesn’t like it, she can stop investing and stop taking Wall Street money. It’s really just another way for her to tray and implement authoritarianism over the financial sector.
Teach: Senator Warren Wants To Reign In Wall Street To Solve Climate Crisis (scam)
Rein not Reign. Someone needs to tell the Arctic and Greenland that global warming is a (scam).
Mr Dowd is correct; it should be rein in, not reign in.
But, as a typo, it’s actually kind of interesting, because it points out that Senatrix Warren wants Wall Street and corporations to fall under her reign.
We thought of that as well – that Senator Warren wanted to “reign” over Wall Street, but rejected that as Mr Teach’s intent because… well, Teach.
To me it seems unlikely that Wall Street is responsible for some 40% of US CO2 emissions.
Here’s the report the article references.
Of course banks and investors finance businesses that emit CO2.
CO2 does not matter. It is a hoax. Jeff has been here for years and never, ever provided a link.
david porter doesn’t know of what he types. Do you even know how to read?
What do you want links to, little d? That CO2 is increasing? That CO2 absorbs IR wavelengths? That the Earth is warming?
Let’s go david!
Let’s go???
Like you have something?
We have debunked your crap many times. The fact is you have linked nothing.
The evidence of a hoax is built in the resolution of the perceived problem. Taxes do not help anything, and that is your only answer.
Sorry, I just found out the crowd was chanting “Fvck david porter!”, not “Let’s Go david!”
david porter: The evidence of a hoax is built in the resolution of the perceived problem.
Let’s probe that a bit by considering a gedankenexperiment. Let’s assume the the Earth IS warming from CO2 from our burning of fossil fuels and is expected to continue to warm. How would you stop it?
At the very first I would make sure my p value was approximate to my major study so my underwriter would not have to rescue my stock.
Your gibberish will not slow warming.
Oh, you understand well. What I can’t understand is why you don’t do your job for your company. Certainly you set back the discourse on the hoax.
Your gibberish will not prove warming is bad…
