We’re literally paying for the climate crisis - and #Congress is trying to cut IRA benefits with their “Big Beautiful Bill.”

Here’s a better idea: cut fossil fuel handouts.

🏦 True or False? 🌍
Banks that fund fossil fuels have no real impact on climate change… right?
❌ FALSE! ❌
Many major banks finance oil, gas, and coal, fueling the climate crisis. 💰⛽️🌡️

A pension is an investment in the future. So why are Iridh pendions being invested in fossil fuels that are destroying our future⁉️

Contact your pension provider and ask them to divest from fossil fuels! ❌

Politicians did this.
Billionaires did this.
Fossil fuel executives did this.

@operationnoah.bsky.social

In 2024, levels of planet-warming CO2 rose more quickly than ever before & are now >50% higher than the pre-industrial era – a trend incompatible w/limiting global heating to 1.5C. Last year the natural world also struggled to absorb as much CO2. #StopFundingFossilFuels www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Planet-warming carbon dioxide levels rose more than ever in 2024

The record rise is incompatible with keeping global warming to 1.5C according to the Met Office.
