Banks Face Criticism for Funding Fossil Fuels

Imagine banks are giving money to companies that burn stuff that makes the Earth hotter.

This is bad because a hotter Earth causes big problems and costs a lot of money.

Banks are doing this even though it could hurt their own business in the long run.

They're making short-term profits but ignoring the bigger problems like rising costs from climate disasters.

Some politicians in the US want to stop efforts to fight climate change, and banks seem to be following along.

Even though they say they care about the environment, they are increasing their investments in fossil fuels instead of green energy, which could make the economy worse.

Some studies show that a hotter planet will make the economy much smaller.
