An analysis of the climate strategies of Europe’s 25 largest banks has shown that progress has ‘ground to a halt’, and in some cases is moving backwards, with only four banks analysed totally excluding financing for companies with new oil and gas projects. www.edie.net/europes-larg...

Mark Kelly is not going to be silenced by the sick buffonery of Trump and Hegseth, two deeply unserious people. They picked a fight with the wrong guy.
