Dimon to Tlaib on disinvestment from fossil fuels: "That would be the road to hell"

[Somehow, I think this is not the dunk that Rashida Tlaib thinks it is — Ed]

(RUSH TRANSCRIPT)

TLAIB: … You have all committed, as you know, to transition the admissions from lending and investment activities to lying with pathways to net zero in 2050. Do you know what the international energy agency has said, it’s required to meet the global 2015, targets of limiting global temperature rise to 2.7 degrees fahrenheit, or 1.5 degrees celsius. So, no new fossil fuel production starting today, so, that’s like zero. I would like to ask all of you, go down the list. Again, you all have agreed to do this. Please answer with a simple yes or no, does your bank have a policy for funding new oil and gas products, Mr. Dimon?

DIMON: Absolutely not. That would be the road to hell for for America.

TLAIB: Everybody that got really from student loans as a bank account, your bank should take out their account and close their account. The fact that you’re not even there to help relieve many of the folks that are in that. Extreme that because of student loan debt, and you’re criticizing.
