I cannot possibly describe the stupidity, redundancy or absurdity of these costly disclosure requirements any better than the excellent summary provided by Hester Pierce, so I won't even try. I just want to say that as a concerned citizen, investor and employee of a company that will have to waste ridiculous amounts of money and time to try to comply with these insane rules, I strongly protest this proposal and hope, despite all reason to do so, that this pointless regulatory assault is tabled. The SEC has no business getting into the weeds of climate policy. The science is far from settled that carbon emissions pose some huge existential threat, and to even pretend companies can precisely project these supposed \"costs\" is a fools' errand at best. If this crazy proposal is enacted, fewer companies will go public, and some current publicly traded companies will likely go private to escape this madness. Please stop.
