Rockefeller heirs call on banks to stop lending to fossil fuel companies

• Descendants of Standard Oil founder John D. Rockefeller are calling on the major banks to put an end to fossil fuel financing.
• Growald, who is a grandson of former Chase Manhattan CEO David Rockefeller, noted that JPMorgan is the starting point since the bank is by far the largest fossil fuel lender.
• “There’s a very direct economic connection. If banks such as JPMorgan don’t change their practices, ultimately, it’s very poor business over the longer term,” he said Friday on CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street.”
