[5/5] There's a strong tension between the theory of voluntary corporate mobilization & the pace of decarbonization we need. Hybrid initiatives like #sbti continue to have a role but their impact depends on how they're leveraged (and influenced) by different political actors w competing goals.

[4/5] The SBTi helps shape norms that are broadly adopted across the private sector. They face immense pressure to compromise on science in the name of "feasibility." But, with the exodus of most large banks from programs like the NZBA, is SBTi catering to an increasingly hollowed out middle?

[3/5] So it's notable that @sciencebasedtargets.org's new #netzero standard requires FIs to cease both project AND corporate-level finance/insurance activities linked to FF expansion. However, while project finance must be immediately addressed, corporate-level finance must only be ceased by 2030.

[2/5] Most ESG commitments from the financial sector address "project finance" (such as loans) to new fossil fuel projects. But over 90% of banks' financing to the FF industry is channeled through "corporate-level" activities, multiple analyses show. bit.ly/4l5L6op bit.ly/45dNXWn

This strongly challenges the gas industry's greenwashing and raises the possibility that future U.S. administrations could rescind LNG export authorizations in defense of the public interest. Check out full details at the report link above (2/2)

At least 50 of those men were here in the US legally and never violated immigration law.
Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.
