Former National Climate Advisor Gina McCarthy works for two private equity firms that have climate portfolios with investments in China.
McCarthy currently works as an advisor for private equity firms Pegasus Capital Advisors LP and TPG Inc., according to her website, both of which have investments in China and are funds that invest using environmental and social metrics. McCarthy worked for the Biden administration as the first ever climate czar where she pushed for the climate provisions in the bipartisan infrastructure law and the Inflation Reduction Act, which she argues “led to the most aggressive action on climate in U.S. history.”
Pegasus Capital Advisors, where McCarthy works as an operating advisor, manages the Green Climate Fund’s (GCF) Global Subnational Climate Fund (SnCF), which was created in 2021 in order to “address a major deficit in climate finance,” according to a press release from the GCF. The Biden administration has given $2 billion to the GCF, a U.N. project that aims to “accelerate clean energy transitions,” according to a White House press release. The GCF has invested $1.4 billion in Shandong, China, according to its website.
McCarthy is also a senior advisor for TPG, which has active investments in Chinese companies such as Du Xiaoman Financial and Zhaoke Ophthalmology, according to its website. The TPG Rise Climate Fund closed at $7.3 billion in 2022, according to a press release.
Pegasus Capital Advisors says, “We focus on solutions related to sustainability and health,” according to their website. “From green infrastructure to improved health and well-being, our investment themes and strategies are based on the long-term value creation that offer scale and depth of environmental and social impact.”
TPG Inc. has its own public benefit organization, Y Analytics, whose mission is to “increase not only the amount of capital that is allocated toward impact, but also to improve the effectiveness of capital invested toward the greater good,” according to TPG’s website.
McCarthy was previously accused of ethics violations by GOP House members after she met with Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) President and CEO Manish Bapna, according to White House visitor logs, which is an alleged violation of Biden’s “Revolving Door Ban.” The ban prohibits appointees from engaging parties who are related to their former employer, and McCarthy had previously served as NRDC’s president and CEO.
McCarthy has also previously called for Big Tech companies to censor those with differing opinions on environmental issues and energy policy, saying, “The tech companies have to stop allowing specific individuals over and over again to spread disinformation,” according to Axios.
TPG confirmed to the Daily Caller News Foundation that McCarthy works as a senior adviser for the firm.
Pegasus Capital Advisors LP, the GCF and McCarthy did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Three Reasons a Coffee Gift Set From This Christian Company Is Perfect for Christmas
When you’re searching for a Christmas gift that’s meaningful, useful, and rooted in faith, you don’t want to settle for anything generic. This season is filled with noise — mass-produced products, last-minute picks, and trends that fade as quickly as they appear. But one gift stands apart because it blends genuine quality with a message that matters: a coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee.
This small Christian-owned company has become a favorite among believers who want to support faith-driven businesses while giving friends and family something they’ll actually enjoy. Here are three reasons a Promised Grounds Coffee gift set may be the most thoughtful and impactful present you give this year.
1. It’s Truly Delicious Coffee
Too many “gift-worthy” coffees look beautiful in the package but disappoint when the cup is poured. Promised Grounds takes the opposite approach — exceptional taste first, thoughtful presentation second.
Their beans are sourced with care, roasted in small batches, and crafted to bring out a rich, smooth flavor profile that appeals to both casual drinkers and true coffee lovers. Whether someone enjoys bold, dark roasts or lighter, more delicate blends, every sip reflects quality that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the biggest specialty brands.
Simply put: this coffee is good. Really good. Some say it’s absolutely fantastic. If you want a gift that won’t be re-gifted, ignored, or shoved in a cabinet, this is it.
2. It Spreads the Word While Serving a Real Purpose
There are many Christian gifts that are meaningful… but not exactly practical. There are also useful gifts that have nothing to do with faith. Promised Grounds Coffee bridges both worlds beautifully.
Each gift set delivers an encouraging, faith-centered message through its packaging and presentation — a simple but powerful reminder of God’s goodness during the Christmas season. The cups are especially popular and serve as a daily reminder of the blessings from our Lord. At the same time, the product itself is something people will actually use and appreciate every single day.
It’s a gift that uplifts the spirit and fills the mug. A gift that points loved ones toward Scripture while still being part of the normal rhythm of life. And in a culture that increasingly pushes faith to the margins, giving a gift that quietly but confidently honors Christ can make a deeper impact than you might expect.
3. It’s Affordable, Valuable, and Elegantly Presented
Many people want to give something meaningful without breaking their Christmas budget. Promised Grounds Coffee strikes that perfect balance — the sets look and feel premium, but the price remains accessible.
The packaging is classy, clean, and gift-ready, making it ideal for:
- Family members of all ages
- Co-workers or employees
- Church friends or small-group leaders
- Hosts, neighbors, and last-minute gift needs
It’s the kind of gift that feels more expensive than it is — and more thoughtful than most of what you’ll find on store shelves.
The Perfect Blend of Faith, Flavor, and Christmas Cheer
A coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee checks every box: a gift that tastes amazing, conveys your faith, supports a Christian business, and brings daily enjoyment to the person who receives it. In a season when so many gifts are forgotten, this one stands out for all the right reasons.
If you want a Christmas present that reflects your values and delivers genuine joy, Promised Grounds Coffee is the perfect place to start.
