May 24, 2022 It's no secret that fossil fuel companies have had a direct role in creating the climate crisis. From the burning of fossil fuels to giant oil spills that pollute our ocean, fossil fuel companies have had a devastating impact on our environment for decades. We all know that carbon pollution is a leading driver of our rapidly-warming planet. And even more sinister, the fossil fuel industry knows that their products harm the air we breathe and the water we drink. Yet, they haven't been required to report to their shareholders the devastating impacts their products have on public health and the climate. Until now, D. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently proposed new rules requiring companies to disclose their carbon emissions and study the impact of how their products increase climate risk and devastation. The Securities Exchange Commission is finally taking the impact of fossil fuels seriously. Fossil fuel companies have poisoned our air and water with zero accountability for far too long. Make no mistake: fossil fuel companies and industry giants will try to stop these climate rules from being implemented. We must speak out now in support of the SEC's proposed climate rules. Make your voice heard and tell the SEC: I support the SEC's proposed climate rules to require companies to disclose their greenhouse gas emissions and study the impacts their products have on the climate.
