Epic disconnect: Head of @NYUSternCSB sustainability forum saying we’re out of time to move business towards more ESG practices at the same she actively partners with climate criminal #fossilfuel funders like @GoldmanSachs@HSBC and plastics monster @PepsiCo. Why?
Very happen to learn @Chase and other large #fossilfuel banks will have to take buildings for which they hold mortgages into account under #LocalLaw97. Their energy-leaking investments will come back to bite them.
Hallelujah @dgelles for speaking truth @NYUSternCSB: #FossilFuel co’s are funding ESG backlash at the state level. So, quite odd that @nyu is partnering with climate criminals right and left to further their sustainability studies. Also all panel, don’t use Right lingo “woke.”
Mind-blown by lobby convo. Corporate hustler @GlblCtzn straight face says that they aren’t #greenwashing climate criminal sponsors like @Citi $(285B #fossilfuels since Paris Agreement) and @ProcterGamble because their $$$ for his virtuous festivals balances things out. WHAT?
Some nerve, @KCCorp, flunky on @NRDC@standearth boreal forest deforestation reports, trying to appear sustainable here at forum. And your @NYUSternCSB aided “green hydrogen” offsets project is a bunch of hooey as it will take hundreds of folds more water than solar/wind.
Tiny bright news: Consumers continue to demand and buy sustainable products. Many more kinds of products are now available. Great, but it’s so telling that the best bucket is only 20% market share for sustainable. So much more growth is needed.
Buttonholing Chair/CEO @KPMG@paulknopp — all blinding white smiles, name dropping Davos while on panel — to say to his face his business model of tax/audit/consulting for #SVB, #fossilfuel financiers, industrial military complex is Evil Incarnate was an activism high point.
Oh, hi @NYClimate@NYCWater glad I got to see you too and ask you and @NYC_Buildings step up your #LocalLaw97 outreach, because property owner pushback is partially due to lack of information. Knock doors, flyer, go electoral on getting #electricbuildings word out. More PR needed
Why on earth is the President of state-sponsored investment fund @NYSERDA Green Bank pushing “green” hydrogen as a new energy solution when it is the opposite, a false solution? @KenzaBryan@FT for asking for an answer for me. See @foodandwater report: foodandwaterwatch.org/2023/02/07/hyd…

We are at the point in the Climate Action Committee CAC where departments try to put the put the public to sleep so we won't notice what their recommendations are. Looking at you, @NYSDOT! #CLCPA
People, we are in BIG trouble. The @NYSDOT commissioner says this "after" photo perfectly illustrates "smart growth." A huge, useless median simply does not facilitate more walking, biking, transit, all the things we need to reduce VMT in New York State. What is going on?!?!
Hairpulling now commencing: Commissioner is calling Uber, Lyft, and Via "micromobility." How is this possible? At this stage in the game and with this much at stake? #ClimateActionCouncil@NYSDOT, you simply MUST do better. @NYGovCuomo
