They missed a great opportunity to ask Tlaib if she’s stopped using fossil fuels herself. Perhaps it’s just me, but, when someone starts yammering about climate doom that’s the first question I ask them
Leaders in the banking industry clashed with Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., Wednesday after Tlaib demanded that they commit to immediately end all financing of all fossil fuel products.
J.P. Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon told the far-left representative during a House Financial Services Committee hearing that her request would lead to despair and ruin.
“You have all committed, as you all know, to transition the emissions from lending and investment activities to align with pathways to net-zero in 2050… So no new fossil fuel production, starting today, so that’s like zero. I would like to ask all of you and go down the list, cause again, you all have agreed to doing this. Please answer with a simple yes or no, does your bank have a policy against funding new oil and gas products, Mr. Diamond?” Tlaib asked.
“Absolutely not, and that would be the road to hell for America,” Dimon responded.
And they all told Tlaib that they would continue to loan money, because, you know, that’s what banks do. If doing away with fossil fuels was so easy, then, why have most Warmists not done so? Who wants to bet that Tlaib flies back and forth between D.C. and Michigan?
Critics of the environmental policies Tlaib advocates, argue that those policies have already reduced funding to fossil fuel projects which has exacerbated the energy shortages seen in Europe since Russia invaded Ukraine earlier this year. American financier Kyle Bass, for example, argued that the transition from fossil fuels to alternative energy must not be rushed.
“These transitions take forty years, Joe. The move from coal to natural gas took forty years. They take a very, very, very long time. We can’t just flip a switch,” he told CNBC in an interview last month.
And how’s that working in Europe?

Whenever a connie starts yammering about gubmint spending I always ask them if they’ve given up all use of gubmint benefits, like clean air and water, courts, police, fire, roads, medical research, parks, libraries, schools, unemployment, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, freedoms etc?
Teach adapts the Alinskyesque false premise that unless you can do everything at once then you shouldn’t do anything. Ridicule your debate opponent rather than debate. Classic.
Here’s another example. If you believe a fertilized egg is a person, and if your 12 year old daughter is raped and impregnated, would you force her to have the baby? What if your daughter develops a life threatening complication? Do you save your daughter or your grandchild, since they are equivalent in terms of personhood?
Back to global warming… Regardless of how she lives her life, Teach will ridicule her unless she uses NO fossil fuels. Why? Because Teach is interested in propaganda not discussion.
Dear Elwood:
Your comment has nothing to do with the post, which details a fucking nuts Muslim woman who got herself elected in MI, which was an early pool of Muslim immigrants (?).
Now she wants to make our banks exercise the Sharia guidelines of not lending money to people who don’t do what she wants.
Is that okay with you? Do you think she, and people like her, should be able to dictate financial actions of private companies???
Your stupidity is boundless. Just shut up and go away.
