Leftist States Move Ahead With Their Own Climate (scam) Rules

I find it interesting how Green Central Banking (sounds rather commie) goes with rules: in other words, forcing the peasants to comply while the Elites are exempt

US states forge ahead with climate rules even as Trump rolls back policies

As the US federal government rolls back its green policies under Donald Trump’s anti-climate agenda, some states are taking the fight against climate change into their own hands.

Two bills reintroduced in New York’s senate would require climate disclosure rules similar to those adopted by California in 2023, while a bill requiring greenhouse gas emissions disclosures was introduced in Colorado in January.

State legislators in Democratic states have been considering climate reporting rules for several years, largely driven by uncertainty around the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) climate reporting rules. The SEC’s rules took two years to pass and were watered down to exclude scope 3 emissions, and have been frozen since the change in administration. (snip)

Because both bills target large companies operating in their respective states, there is likely to be some overlap. However some companies in New York that don’t operate in California, such as real estate and regional hedge funds, would be required to disclose, said Fajans-Turner. And having two major states with similar climate reporting rules would also send “strong market signals to companies about what the expected way of doing business is”, she added.

Or, it could cause those companies to abandon those states. You can bet there will be lawsuits the minute they are signed. And, it will cause quite a few companies to no longer give Democrats any campaign funding.

This is just the beginning, said Sawyer, as many states and Americans recognise the material impact that climate change has on the economy. State action is likely to increase, as it is up to states to “pick up the slack” from the federal government. The Trump administration has dismantled much of the climate progress made by the previous administration, such as rolling back an executive order that required federal agencies to assess climate-related financial risks to the economy.

Suddenly, Democrats discover States Rights.
