 While climate change is clearly an issue of global concern (and rightly so), I must conclude that this proposal is an unjustified overreach of the SECs authority  with neither the means to credibly assess the disclosures nor effectively enforce the proposed rule. In my opinion, the proposal represents political activism disguised as a well-intended attempt to protect investors  something which has no place in a regulatory agency of government at any level.
