Would you trust an arsonist to be your neighborhood firefighter? Me neither. Would you trust an arsonist to be your neighborhood firefighter? Me neither. So why should we trust people like the CEO of BlackRock to advise the World Bank on its climate change policies? BlackRock is infamous for its MASSIVE investments in fossil fuels and weapons. The World Bank is actively taking advice from executives of giant financial institutions like BlackRock that are profiting from climate destruction! Droughts are intensifying. Wildfires are raging through our communities. Hurricanes are ripping through coastal cities and towns. As the climate crisis worsens, the World Bank should be facilitating massive public investments in sustainable energy, not listening to executives who can sit in their mansions safe from the destruction they have wrought.

That’s the estimated wealth these financial institutions are managing. Imagine if even just a fraction of that money was invested in solar panels or wind turbines. Imagine the strides we could make to alleviate world hunger by growing local, fresh foods through regenerative agriculture. That’s the potential of this money – but that’s not how these executives have used it. The climate crisis will be solved by scientists, farmers, construction workers, public servants, communities, and engineers, not financial executives. The World Bank should not have big money interests whispering in its ear.
