As I approach retirement age, I'm very concerned that the investments that are widely available are still not required to disclose the amount of greenhouse gases or other global warming pollutants they discharge into the atmosphere based on their ongoing operations. There needs to be much more climate warming potential disclosure on the part of these companies and the funds that support them. As a concerned citizen, I would like the SEC to exercise their powers to require these companies to be more forthright in these disclosures, and the SEC has the power to require this from these funds. I want to know this so that I can securely choose companies that do not contribute to the overall global warming that is still ongoing and will be for some time in the future. I have children that will be growing up in this world far beyond when I leave this world, and it's not fair that they have to endure the burden of an inhospitable world largely because we didn't hold these companies and the funds that support them accountable for their actions. Thanks for listening. -- Victor Poland
