I strongly support this rule. We are in a climate emergency. If we don't act now we will literally be looking at a planet that's uninhabitable for our children and grandchildren.  We are in this dire situation because corporations chose profits over the well being of humans.

The transparency this rule requires will hold companies accountable for their role in climate change, and give investors more leverage in forcing changes to business practices that contribute to rising global temperatures.
We have found that companies will not do what is needed to save this planet unless they are required to.  Transparency is the first step to accountability.
It's simple fact that companies won't voluntarily disclose this information, and that we can't demand they do better if they don't.

It's also simple fact that without dramatic changes the human race will suffer incalculable harm from the results of the climate crisis.

Please pass and implement this rule. Thanks.
