Bernie Sharfman, RCM As sure as there is going to be a hurricane season, mandatory climate-change disclosures of public companies, and perhaps private ones as well, are on their way. In March, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requested public input on what these new disclosures should be. In May, SEC Commissioner Allison Lee presented in a speech a legal analysis of the SEC's authority to require such disclosures, even if the disclosures are not material to a reasonable investor.

This bill would split up big tech companies or force them to spin off divisions into separate businesses. For example, YouTube would probably become independent from Google. Instagram might be separated from Facebook. Perhaps Whole Foods would be spun... |
