Wow, this new Exxon ad is surprisingly candid.

This year's Docklands 5k race is sponsored by @JPMorgan, the world's #1 funder of climate breakdown.

Ironically, the Docklands 5k raises money for @CrusadersAC in Ringsend, which is projected to be underwater if companies like JP Morgan don't stop investing in fossil fuels.

[Extinction Rebellion Ireland @ExtinctRebelsIE]

Join our protest of JP Morgan’s sponsorship of the Docklands 5k this Thu 11th at 6:45pm, meeting at Hubspot, 1 Sir John Rogerson's Quay, D2. Look out for the XR flags. We’ll be making lots of noise about JP Morgan's status as world's #1 funder of climate breakdown!

📢 BREAKING: The new #BankingOnClimateChaos report reveals the world's top banks poured $6.9 TRILLION into fossil fuels in the 8 years following the Paris Agreement. 🥵

Giant 🇺🇸 banks @Chase, @Citi & @BankofAmerica top the list. 🤬

So fossil fuel financers "@jpmorgan warns of need for ‘reality check’ on phasing out fossil fuels"

How's this for a reality check:
"Climate Change Will Cost Global Economy $38 Trillion Every Year Within 25 Years, Scientists Warn" 🤯

I just signed this petition calling on Heather Humphreys to prohibit the new Auto-enrolment pension scheme from investing in fossil fuels or the arms industry. Will you sign too? https://t.co/uOgL6IgHnJ via @UpliftIRL

Fossil fuels don't belong in Irish pensions. We were happy to support this action along with @DivestIreland

A New York pensioner used the Freedom of Information Act to see what Blackrock--world's largest investment house--had to say about fossil fuel divestment. Bottom line: you make more money staying away from the stuff that kills the planet

@brianmlucey @Actionaid_Ire "We conclude that divesting from fossil fuel production does not result in financial harm to investors, even when fossil fuels continue to play a dominant role in the energy mix for some time."

Today the Dept. of Social Protection published its draft bill setting up Ireland's new #AutoEnrolment pension funds. No mention of fossil fuels. Reading it you'd never think we were facing climate breakdown.

Sign our petition to fix the bill. https://t.co/Hflzw0ipTr

2 weeks, 2 govt departments, 2 very different bills.

Last week the Dept. of Finance published its draft legislation setting up Ireland's new sovereign wealth funds. The bill explicitly prohibits the funds from investing in fossil fuel companies.

The Irish government's introducing a bill this month that will invest vast sums of taxpayers' money in the companies most responsible for climate breakdown.
