Stop corporate lying on climate.
I petitioned the Commission in August 2019 to take action to stop corporate lying on climate. https://www.sec.gov/rules/petitions/2019/petn4-751.pdf
I supplemented that petition in October 2019. https://www.sec.gov/rules/petitions/2019/petn4-751-supplement.pdf
I also referred by e-mail other climate disclosure fraud to the Commission on April 6, 2021. https://junkscience.com/2021/04/junkscience-petitions-sec-on-nature-conservancy-carbon-offset-fraud/#more-104781
So far the Commission has not taken any action to curb lying on climate by registrants.
Here’s to hoping that the Commission finally decides to uphold extant securities regulations which already ban material false and misleading statements on climate and other issues.
