The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has proposed a rule that would require public companies to regularly disclose certain climate-related information, including their greenhouse gas emissions. The rule is controversial, and the SEC has received thousands of public comments on it.
Opponents of the proposal have argued among other things that it amounts to an improper attempt to enact substantive climate policy via securities regulation. Considering how central climate change is to the activities of many advocacy groups, it is perhaps instructive to examine some of the organizations who commented in support of the proposed rule.
