The six largest banks in the United States have abandoned a climate change “alliance” just ahead of the inauguration of President-elect Donald J. Trump. In early December, JP Morgan joined Citigroup, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, and Goldman Sachs in distancing themselves from the United Nations-supported Net Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA).
Paddy McCully from Reclaim Finance described the banks’ withdrawal as a calculated move to sidestep challenges from Trump. McCully noted that while climate commitments were previously emphasized, with changing political winds, such priorities seem less central.
The NZBA aims to align financial practices with a goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by mid-century. Citigroup, a founding member, and JP Morgan both claim they will continue independently pursuing low-carbon technologies, but from outside the organization. The NZBA’s membership count still stands at 141 banks after the departures, with significant participation from European banks.
The American banks are just the latest companies to abandon leftist policies after President-elect Trump’s victory last November. Over the last year, several other major companies have abandoned woke policies related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and climate change.
In October, Democrats attempted to preserve DEI initiatives, telling corporations not to abandon them despite public and shareholder backlash. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
