- Jan.11.2020: Want to Do Something About Climate Change? Follow the Money. ...Money inside the vaults of banks like Chase is driving the climate crisis. Cutting off that flow of cash may be the single quickest step we can take to rein in the fossil fuel industry and slow the rapid warming of the earth." In the last 3 years, JP Morgan Chase financed the fossil-fuel industry to the tune of ~$196 billion - much of it to fund extreme new ventures: ultra-deep-sea drilling, Arctic oil extraction, etc. Lennox Yearwood Jr, Bill McKibben, The New York Times.
- May.2018: JPMorgan Chase can’t hide from the truth. JPMorgan Chase is the top US funder of extreme fossil fuels –– aka the dirtiest fossil fuels on the planet that drive climate change, human rights abuses and environmental disasters. In 2017 alone, Chase bankrolled a whole suite of extreme fossil fuels — including tar sands, Arctic oil, coal, deepwater drilling, and liquefied natural gas –– to the tune of $11.6bn.
