A House Judiciary Committee released a report Tuesday that alleges a ‘climate cartel’ comprised of left-wing environmental activists and major financial institutions colluded to force American companies to adopt anti-fossil fuel policies, which have in turn, harmed U.S. consumers.
The interim report was the product of a two-year investigation by House Judiciary Republicans into whether “woke” companies were engaging in behaviors that violate antitrust laws.
“Today’s report demonstrates a clear violation of antitrust laws among the companies cited. It indicates both an agreement and a reduction of output – the two standards necessary to establish antitrust,” Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyo., who serves on the Judiciary Committee, told Just the News.
The interim report, titled "Climate Control: Exposing the Decarbonization Collusion in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Investing" is based on millions of pages of documents, some of which were obtained through subpoenas, as well as interviews or depositions with “key players within the climate cartel.”
According to the report, Climate Action 100+, an investor group of more than 700 investors and 170 companies, “bullies and threatens asset managers, weaponizing their climates to force them to join and obey the climate cartel.” The goal of these actions was to get the companies to reduce their carbon emissions in line with the 2015 Paris Agreement, which the report argues forces companies to reduce output and increase prices to consumers.
“What is equally troublesome is that the purpose of this collusion is to ultimately harm both consumers and shareholders. Among the industries targeted are the fossil fuel, aviation, and farming business sectors that are critical to our existence. In essence, this collusion inhibits our ability to heat our homes, drive our cars, grow our food, raise our livestock, and travel freely.

We have reached peak climate change superstition.
we’ve also reach peak “F.O” to the climate change Nazis. they seem to believe they’ve reached the tipping point of control but have completely forgotten that when elites push to hard and too far too fast they risk the “Marie Antoinette” treatment by the peasants they THINK ARE under their control. the next few years of life on earth will require popcorn. LOTS of popcorn.
We surround them. And I think what they’ve been doing, or have in their plans, is finally beginning to trickle into the average person’s head. I think a few of them have a date with a lamppost.
