According to Bloomberg, Warren cited a Sierra Club and Center for American Progress study revealing that eight of the largest U.S. banks and 10 of the nation's largest asset managers finance roughly 2 billion tons of emissions of carbon dioxide combined.
Warren announced on Twitter Monday: "The volume of greenhouse gas emitted by the financial-services industry is outrageous. If it were a country, it would rank as the fifth-largest emitter in the world. Regulators need to crack down on the financial sector's role in the #ClimateCrisis."
