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 reportingBy 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.
Pity the man who discounts God.. God who made the world, set the boundaries, set the seasons.. Gave the rainbow as a promise to never flood the world again. He has it all under control.. Expecting us to take care of His creation.
We will have cold and heat.. In cycles. He is in control of His creation, what is beyond any man’s abilities.
To think the libs can become caretakers of God’s world, is to dismiss.. Never know the Creator.
I would LOVE to see mortgage companies, or even just one big one, come out and say “We are not going to offer loans longer than 10 years, because the ‘settled science’ shows that the borrowers will not exist to repay after that time.”
But of course, they don’t do that. Because they know that the climate “crisis” is baloney.
Weather will destroy companies , how did they survive so long
Why do your charts have wonky scales? The top one has no Temp scale at all, while the bottom one has +20 at the bottom and -20 at the top.
Junk science abounds.
If you look closely (I had to, too) the y-axis of the lower graph is C-14 fraction in permille (1/1000) - not temperature.
They use C-14 tracking to determine historic sun activity.
The top chart is just basic, probably had more info at the site it was taken from.
The bottom chart is solar output not temperature. Since the info was taken from carbon14 readings the C probably refers to carbon radioactivity measurements. I assume that from the word ‘permille’ in paranthesis next to the C.
If you doubt the accuracy of either chart I recommend you find better ones and post them for all to see.
