Meanwhile, reports from China suggest Yellen may have accidentally consumed hallucinogenic "jian shou qing" mushrooms during a visit to Yunnan province.

He suggests this creates a moral hazard by encouraging bank managers to take excessive risks, knowing the government will backstop depositors.

Proponents argue that private sector investment is insufficient in scale and speed to address the climate crisis.

The hosts explain that the seizure of bank deposits over 100,000 euros is a "template" for future Eurozone bailouts.
