This as opposed to Just Stop Oil’s efforts to disrupt summer holidays by trying to stop air travel.
Nearly two dozen people were cuffed by late Monday morning as climate protesters blockaded Citi Headquarters in Lower Manhattan, police said.
A group of 150 activists crowded in front of the financial giant’s building on Greenwich Street near North Moore Street in Tribeca during the morning rush, organizers said.
Twenty-three people were taken into custody during the first of a series of planned protests that organizers are calling the Summer of Heat on Wall Street, according to an early NYPD count.
According to The New York Times, the latest climate cult effort is named Summer of Heat on Wall Street and is primarily focused on Citigroup. A recent report from a coalition of environmental organizations claims that Citi is investing the most in new oil and gas projects around the globe.
While Citi has established climate neutrality goals for 2050, its investment portfolio reportedly conflicts with international objectives aimed at reducing global temperature rises, as stated by Ceres, a group that collaborates with businesses on climate initiatives.
In response, banks have challenged the report’s methodology and conclusions. An analysis by Bloomberg News found that Citi is not the largest lender to the oil, gas, and coal industries, and noted that its financing for fossil fuels has been gradually decreasing.
Climate cultism is considered virtuous including when it comes to their petroleum-based clothing, glasses, gasoline-powered vehicles, protest signs, video cameras, and so on. The backlash from red states against the ESG racket has revealed flaws and caused harm, forcing climate cultists to revert to the methods they used two decades ago.
