The Dark Truth Behind ESG's Trillion Dollar Climate Promises

ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investing sounds noble — like your money is saving the planet. But here’s the reality:

✔️ ESG funds hit $18.4 trillion globally in 2021.
✔️ Most do as much good as a plastic straw ban at a yacht club.
✔️ Companies greenwash their way in with labels, “sustainability officers,” and stock photos of windmills.

Meanwhile, they’re strip-mining lithium in Chile or flying private jets to climate summits. The ESG label has become a branding trick — not a guarantee of impact.

🎙 From the Stay in the Gray podcast — cutting through Wall Street spin, fake outrage, and political theater.
