I am currently dangling from a tripod, blocking the entrance to @rbc, the 5th largest fossil fuel funder in the world because decades of politely asking banks to stop fueling climate change hasn’t worked.
Yes I am too old for this shit.
We’re disrupting bank business-as-usual because BAU is killing us. Canada’s big 5 banks have put over $800 billion into fossil fuels since the Paris Agreement was signed. RBC has put $390M into the Coastal Gaslink pipeline #fossilbanks

.@RAN found @HSBC has provided some of the world’s largest fossil fuel firms with £81 billion since the 2015 Paris Agreement

In 2020 alone, they gave @exxonmobil £2.5bn and @Shell £3.6bn – more than any year since Paris

HSBC cause climate breakdown, profit from racist detention centres and fund weapons.

Their ads tell a different story - of social justice, sustainability and diversity. Ads are their only commitment to these values.

So we replaced them 👇👇👇 1/

For one, whatever their latest 'net zero ambition' statements, HSBC cause climate breakdown.

Since the Paris Agreement, HSBC have pumped $87Bn into fossil fuel companies, making them the second largest financier of fossil fuels in Europe! 2/
While they use their support for @BritishCycling to launder their reputation, and make themselves seem like they understand the climate emergency - they don't.

They even sunk $1.8 Bn into fossil fuel projects in the 4 months before their #NotZero Announcement last month!
