The six biggest banks in the U.S. have quit the Net Zero Banking Alliance just before Trump's inauguration.
The alliance was formed with the goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
Let this serve as another reminder that so-called “corporate social responsibility” is a sham.

Here is my version of Mauna Loa CO2 growth vs. NOAA's graphic of Mauna Loa CO2 growth, side-by-side.
The difference is that NOAA updates theirs once a year based on the 4-month average CO2 centered on January 1st, and I update mine monthly, based on the running 12-month average for CO2.
