4/ @Chase the US’ #1 fossil bank is bankrolling almost $1 billion in the EACOP pipeline invested in @TotalEnergies, threatening the drinking water of 40 million & worsening the climate emergency.
We don’t have time for fossil fools: Chase must stop investing in climate chaos!
5/ @BankofAmerica isn't taking the climate crisis seriously.
With $1.8B behind @TotalEnergies they are complicit in the corporate colonialism directly funding EACOP.
Enough of the #greenwashing, it’s time to stop funding pipelines that destroy communities.
6/ @WellsFargo has $24 billion invested in @TotalEnergies bankrolling corporate colonialism in Africa.
It's time to put people over profit and #StopEACOP
7/ @Vanguard_Group & @BlackRock are the asset managers bankrolling the destruction of communities in East Africa with $13.6 Billion.
When will they prioritize communities and stop corporate colonialism in its tracks?

@RBC .@RBC 's 9.22 Billion in fossil fuel investments since Oct 2021 would cover 25% of disaster relief costs in Pakistan, as millions recover from devastating flooding.
Instead of investing in climate devastation & displacement, RBC could support communities impacted by fossil fuels.
@RBC In 2022, RBC has lent and underwrote 7.05 billion dollars in fossil fuels.
This is happening while RBC continues to greenwash and claim that it is committed to climate action.
.@AmyG_Standearth kicks-off grounding us in how @TotalEnergies' EACOP risks harming the lives & livelihoods of millions.
"This is not just a climate issue. This is a climate justice issue." 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
While @TotalEnergies & those attempting to push through EACOP claim it will benefit local communities, a majority of the fossil oil of the world's largest proposed pipeline would be for export.😡
In his ruling, Justice Thompson says “methods of enforcement of the court's order have led to serious and substantial infringement of civil liberties, including impairment of the freedom of the press to a marked degree” #FairyCreek
Of forest defenders, the Justice says: “They are respectful, intelligent, and peaceable by nature. They are good citizens in the important sense that they care intensely about the common good” 👏💯 #FairyCreekbccourts.ca/jdb-txt/sc/21/…
Ever heard that Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is a climate-friendly fuel? Well, you’ve been sold a lie. LNG, made up of methane, is one of the fastest growing threats to our climate. RT to expose the truth about #LNG. #bcpoli#cdnpoli
Didn't think we'd need to say this, but the responses we're getting on this tweet really prove our point: the fossil fuel industry has done a great job convincing the public that "natural gas" is good. It's not. Read more here: vox.com/energy-and-env…
In B.C., methane emissions amounted to an estimated 8.8 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2017, according to the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy. That’s equal to 1,724,724 vehicles on the road for one year. Read more: thenarwhal.ca/climate-change…
