All Companies Should Report They will be Destroyed by Climate Change in the Next Decade
Watts Up With That ^ | July 27, 2024 | Eric Worrall

Companies in Australia are being warned they shouldn’t play down climate risks. For once I agree with the green regulators.

Warning to Aussie firms on mandatory climate reporting

By Marion Rae Updated July 26 2024 – 11:16AM, first published 11:12AM

Almost one in five of Australia’s top 200 companies are providing very little reporting on their climate risks ahead of the implementation of mandatory disclosure.

The Australian Council of Superannuation Investors report released on Friday found the majority of ASX200 members have net-zero commitments and most have also set interim targets, which helps investors to gauge the credibility of a company’s plans.

But gaps remain in the depth and scope of climate reporting, with some companies only partially reporting on their climate risks and 18 per cent doing almost nothing.

More than 6000 entities will be required to report under new climate-related disclosure requirements in the next few years, with critics concerned about the cost of more green tape for business.

For now most companies appear to be trying to avoid putting bad news in their company reports, apparently glossing over the required climate reporting risks, using qualitative language instead of quantitatively applying the latest “science”.

But what would happen if companies did the opposite? Took the wildest, most extreme IPCC projections, and reported in their prospectus there was nothing they could do to prevent the irreversible destruction of their companies? What if they told investors should be aware in 10 years or (pick a number) the company will no longer exist due to the ravages of climate change? That they intend to take no action to avert this risk, because no meaningful action is possible, due to rising emissions in China, India and Africa?

This would put the spotlight on the scientists making those predictions, not the companies reporting imminent climate catastrophe.

Because none of those predictions are true. We’ve already experienced almost two centuries of global warming, and nothing bad has happened. Year after year we see climate doomsday predictions expire with none of the calamities they predicted coming to pass.

By taking all these wild predictions literally, and putting the scariest possible prognosis in company reports, companies will not only avoid prosecution for non-compliance with absurd climate reporting laws, they will expose the most ridiculously extreme climate predictions to more public scrutiny – and in doing so will do everyone, including themselves, a big service.

This is brilliant. I wish some companies would actually do that.

I have one quibble. He says we've experienced two centuries of global warming. Not sure what he's talking about. The world has been warming since the Little Ice Age.

I think he meant anthropomorphic global warming for two centuries (i.e. since the start of the IR), as opposed to natural global warming for 120 centuries.

Every one of us is going to die by Climate Change or something else. Like , perhaps , totalitarian governments given great powers to combat imaginary problems

We started coming out of the second phase of the Little Ice Age in the middle of the 19th century. About two hundred years ago.

I’d say it’s the latter.

Temperature changes over the last 1,000 years.

Which correlate pretty well with solar activity over the last 1,000 years.

This global warming hoodwinking will only last so long before people say ‘enough already’.

The electric car market is at its capacity and only so many people can be fooled into wasting money on an unreliable and constantly changing market. So that didn’t work... Wind farms are a bust and electric solar panels are fine on a new house... Retrofitting them into your existing home doesn’t financially make sense. And it’s only a matter of time before people start realizing that the billions and even trillions raised in carbon taxes is a corrupt boondoggle of enormous proportions.

This money grabbing gig is coming to an end, and those supporting it and advocating it will soon be thrown to the wolves.

the climate scare will ramp up all the way to the Presidential election:

UNFCCC: Media accreditation for COP 29 is open
The sessions will be held from 11 to 22 November 2024 at the Baku Olympic Stadium located at Heydar Aliyev, 323, Baku, Azerbaijan.

the costs are phenomenal:

7 May: PV Mag Australia: Former (Australian Prime Minister) to chair fund planning 15 GW clean energy portfolio
by David Carroll
Sydney-headquartered HMC has identified the energy transition as one of the fastest growing sectors in the global private markets landscape, estimating it will offer more than (USD 275 trillion) in investment opportunities globally over the next 30 years.

Di Pilla said the ETF will focus on investing in a portfolio of assets across the energy value chain, including solar and wind generation, battery energy storage, biofuels and emerging technologies...

a perfect ad for Trump would include the costs, plus:

“As a prosecutor, @KamalaHarris took on Big Oil companies – and won. As @VP, she cast the tie-breaking vote to pass the most significant investment in climate solutions in history, the Inflation Reduction Act,” Gore said in a statement on the social platform X. “That’s the kind of climate champion we need in the White House.”

That warming must have came from all the cars and factories that were around spewing out carbon emissions. I laugh at people who believe that the government can fix the climate, whatever that’s supposed to mean. The same clowns who can’t balance a budget or tell the truth.

Climate change is only a theory, not a proven fact.
These global warming scientists think they know more about the climate than God.
Isaiah 29:14
“Therefore once more I will astound these people with wonder upon wonder; the wisdom of the wise will perish, the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish.”
And global warming fear mongers are making big money at everyone else’s expense.

“Retrofitting them into your existing home doesn’t financially make sense.”

It kind of does if you live in a Democrat controlled area where the power goes out when there is a gentle breeze. (I live in a D controlled county and everything is in disrepair, imagine that)

I’ve thought about getting a solar roof system because our electrical grid is so weak.

As soon as I have the large tree in my yard cut down I’m getting solar panels to soak up the light and heat that the tree currently does.

Other than a backup solar won’t work.
