In response to a question about rolling back rules on climate transparency 

Rescinding the rules would eliminate a national framework intended to make significant climate-related information more consistent, comparable, and accessible. Communities would lose a critical public source of environmental data. Investors could instead be required to locate information across general SEC filings, voluntary sustainability reports, state disclosure systems, and other company materials. 
Our world is burning. Flooding. Storms are increasing in strength and frequency. We should be strengthening rules and regulations and be as transparent as possible to help solve this existential problem. Not hiding information and sticking our heads in the sand. 


For future generations,
