Blackrock stopped publishing estimates of how much is using that platform because it garnered such a negative press. It's not just financial firms that are using this, loads of corporations use it to make their decisions including Apple and it's very catchily named Braver and Capital.

Paris Marx is joined by Adrienne Buller to discuss how the tech and finance industries are selling us false solutions to the climate crisis that are designed for their own benefit.
