The Fossil Fuel GreenWashing Machine Is Now Aimed At Women

Fossil Fuel Greenwashing Targets Women. According to an email sent by the organization’s national marketing director, Jenn Lomas, to Canada’s National Observer, the group was started in 2019 “by women in and around the energy sector” with the intention of “uplifting [women’s] voices in important conversations about the economy and energy.” 

“Women have been left out of the dialogue and our voices deserve to be heard,” she stated in her letter.  

However, detractors contend that the organization is merely a front for fossil fuel corporations seeking to sabotage the shift away from gas and oil. 

“That is not logical. The majority of those impacted by climate change will be women, as they and their offspring are more likely to be exposed to the air pollution that fossil fuels produce during combustion as well as the contaminants produced in the vicinity of fossil fuel extraction sites.”

Lem speculated that the lack of a funder list on Canada Powered by Women’s website could be an intentional attempt to minimize the organization’s ties to fossil fuel companies. 

The group’s spokesperson, Lomas, claims that donations from people and businesses in the energy, real estate, and financial services sectors support the organization’s operations. Together with the group’s web and media presence, these initiatives involve “extensive” research on public opinion. 

Twenty million US dollars will be paid by TD Bank to settle the “spoofing” probe.

The settlement puts a stop to the criminal and civil investigations into the fraudulent trading methods of the former employee.

TorontoIn order to end an inquiry into a former employee’s fraudulent trading strategies used to influence the U.S. Treasury market, Dominion Bank has agreed to pay more than $20 million in U.S. dollars.

In a document filed with the federal court in New Jersey on Monday, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that the second-biggest bank in Canada had agreed into a three-year deferred prosecution arrangement.

According to the filing, the agreement would terminate the criminal and civil investigation against former trader Jeyakumar Nadarajah, who was accused of “placing hundreds of fraudulent spoof orders amounting to tens of billions of dollars of false supply and demand in the secondary market for U.S. Treasuries.”

About 100 people are killed by Hurricane Helene, and sections of North Carolina are destroyed.

Days after Hurricane Helene tore over the southeast of the United States, a crisis developed in western North Carolina as officials promised to deliver additional food, water, and other supplies to flood-stricken areas without power or cellular service on Monday. The number of storm-related deaths is getting close to 100.

As rescuers and other emergency personnel arrived in places cut off by crumbling infrastructure, extensive water, and collapsed roads, Governor Roy Cooper anticipated that the death toll would increase.
