Thank you for the opportunity to oppose the proposal of the SEC entering the climate change controversy.
The SEC is not the correct government body to mandate non financial, political based rules to private businesses. Anything such as this has dramatic effect on commerce and should be debated openly by an accountable elected officials in the US Senate and US Congress.
Any rules/policy would favor large companies who have the scale and resources to add compliance funding.
The consensus is far from settled on climate change being caused by or not caused by human actions. The 11.5 year solar cycle and the Atlantic decadal oscillator have dramatic effects on temperature over time.
The two warmest periods in recorded history were around 1100BC and 1000AD in the Northern Hemisphere.
From 1946 to 1975 temperatures cooled , yet CO2 emissions rose dramatically.
Thank you for your consideration and the opportunity for public comment
