How much will global temperatures decline if all Canadian banks stop lending money to the O&G sector?

Just the number, please.

And that's because these eco-zealots have never explained in practical and credible terms how that "saving the world" actually works. Nor have they explained why the world needs saving to begin with.
And don't hold your breath waiting either.

Just shows, this ESG stuff is pure and utter crap. If you are willing to pay the corrupt bums who bless you with ESG ratings, you can get anything a high ESG score, even things that are deliberately built to kill people like cigarettes. Amazing.

Greenpeace is pushing for banks to be regulated in to keeping their eco commitments. [ECO]Fascism is being pushed by the left. Not that anyone cares about Greenpeace. They have left behind any semblance of credibility long ago.
