Will the SEC Demand "Green" Disclosures? Recognizing climate change as a ''material consideration'' is among the actions sought by a diverse group that includes some of the country's largest corporations.

Regulation is worthwhle

In response to the former there is GLOBAL consensus on Cliamte Change and its causes. If one examines the underlying evidence, there is but one conclusion: human activity is contributing to Cliamte Change. This should not be seen as some radical idea, since human activity has always impacted the environment in many forms. That is not to say there should never be "impacts" as there will always be those, but to ignore their consequences is irresponsible!

Business needs to consider the facts and act, as many have. Since there appears to be a lack of urgency in the light of the facts, then it would seem that some regulation is in order to steer behavor toward a resonabl goal.

Pull your money from these companies

I realize that the article is brief, but if these executives truly are calling for regulations because of the swindle being foisted upon the American People that blames human activity for the global warming, then they have demonstrated that they leap to conclusions with insufficient information, and therefore your money is at risk.

Global warming may be happening, but it is the result of natural cycles. Scientists say that Mars is warming, is that caused by human activity? The ice core samples have demonstrated cycles of cooling and warming that take place over 1500 years or so. We are in a warming cycle.
