Climate Change and Finance
Are “Green Banks” the Solution to Climate Change?
President Biden plans to fight climate change and create jobs via infrastructure spending. However, to make America green, the economy must go green: corporations and banks must move towards renewables.
Some institutions are considering sustainability. Global banks invested $1.9 trillion in renewables during 2016–2018 after the Paris Accords. 5 American banks also pledged to end Arctic drilling investment.
Yet, this transition isn’t complete. 33 global banks invested $1.9 trillion in fossil-fuels between 2016–2019. US banks invested double in fossil-fuels over renewables during 2016–2018. …

President Trump’s acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention was a masterclass in how not to run a campaign.
All I have to say is:
The 1980s called. They want their campaign strategy back.
I’ve argued before that Trump ran a smart campaign in 2016:
“Trump hammered Hillary Clinton on voting for the Iraq War (which has killed 200,000 civilians since 2003). …

2020 Election
Trump is in too big of a hole
This article can be found in my “Political Analysis” section.
Speculation about Joe Biden’s running mate is rampant. He’s supposed to announce it this week, so people are dying to know.
But amidst all this hype, let me say this:

The good in his political record
This will be an opinion piece. For more policy analyses, objective articles, and political commentary, check out my main publication, The Cynical Report.
If you haven’t heard, John Lewis — former civil rights hero and Congressman — died recently. He’s had lots of positive press for his civil rights career.
But what’s going unnoticed is his record as a politician. He had an interesting career, so let’s talk about it in detail.
