These Tributes shall be delivered to the custody of the Capitol.
Wall Street Journal (1/13/21) editorial: "Whenever an invader conquered new lands in ancient times, the local tribes made a pilgrimage to offer tribute to the new king. Politics has changed less than you think. Behold the masters of finance who plan to offer the modern version of such gifts—climate tribute. The Institute of International Finance (IIF) has been circulating a draft statement titled 'Financing a U.S. Transition to a Sustainable Low-Carbon Economy' among financial trade associations that it plans to present to the Biden Administration sometime after next week’s inauguration. We’ve seen a copy of the 12-page document, and it reads like a hostage plea. “To help establish a shared vision on U.S. climate policy, the financial services industry seeks to engage with incoming administration leaders and members of Congress on a bipartisan basis,” IIF says. “By so doing, we hope to inform the policymaking process and demonstrate our willingness and capacity to support a common-sense transition to a more sustainable, and inclusive, low-carbon economy.” At your climate service, sirs."

"Despite all the progress we’ve made, we still have a long way left to go. Renewable energy is our future and is worth our investment. Try to step up and do your part, but remember that the most impactful changes will need to come from elected officials. The crucial things you can do are to vote and make your voice heard."
