To all Australian banks,

As the funders for many of our biggest and boldest projects, you hold the unique power to direct huge money into solutions to the climate crisis — and away from making it worse. We urge you to invest in our future, not coal and gas. We call on you to:

  • Set a deadline — 2030 or earlier — to end all your investments in thermal coal
  • Rule out funding any new or expanded thermal coal, oil or gas projects
  • Ramp up funding for climate solutions like clean energy

It is time the Neanderthals that are still denying climate change, are swamped by people and corporations who are concerned about the future of our planet and future generations. Please contribute to the future rather than add to the destruction.

My family and I have joined a Green Bank “the Bank of Australia” very easy!
If everyone does that, we will have a green future for the next generations :) This Bank cares!

We learned the lessons of last summer: climate change is here and now. Politicians ignore the evidence so businesses and citizens must act now as the longer we delay, the more it will cost.

Coal is old technology, please invest in new, clean technology and the future of our only planet.

The old businessmen can’t see over their pile of cash … it won’t be their world soon. Take away their vote.

As bankers you well know if you spend more than you save the outcome is bad.
If we continue to liberate more carbon dioxide than the plants can bank, we will eventually run out of air to breath.
Most likely the climate will change catastrophically first, but even if it doesn’t, our combustion engines will stop and living animals, us included, will become very lethargic.

Adani will eventually be a stranded asset but meantime they can do a lot of damage to the environment.
