Fake Indian Elizabeth Warren as been going after Wall Street (while making lots of money from it) since she came into office, and now she’s doing the whole “let’s blame ‘climate change’ schtick to drag in some climate cultists. Of course, she’s just preaching to the choir
Senator Warren urges crackdown on Wall Street over climate change
Senator Elizabeth Warren accused the financial services industry of being a major contributor to climate change and urged U.S. regulators to hold it to account.
Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat, cited a study by the Sierra Club and the Center for American Progress, which shows that eight of the biggest U.S. banks and 10 of its largest asset managers combined finance about 2 billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions. That’s about 1% less than what Russia produced.
“The volume of greenhouse gas emitted by the financial-services industry is outrageous,” she said in a tweet. “If it were a country it would rank as the fifth-largest emitter in the world.”
“Regulators,” she added, “need to crack down.”
Why is this the business of the federal government? Why is it hers? First, if she doesn’t like it, introduce a bill giving the Executive Branch that authority. See if she can get it passed. But, 2nd, the Constitution doesn’t authorize the federal government this power. 3rd, why is this her business? If she doesn’t like it, she can stop investing and stop taking Wall Street money. It’s really just another way for her to tray and implement authoritarianism over the financial sector.
