.@patagonia CEO dead right that on climate legislation, corporate sector “has historically been full of shit, and the sector is still full of shit.”
They tell public and shareholders one thing; then their trade associations and huge lobbying brutes come in and tell Congress the opposite. And they’re cool with that. fastcompany.com/90776502/patag…
The worst offender is the @USChamber (aka #ChamberofCarbon), a confirmed “worst climate obstructor,” which even created a “climate conversation” to give anxious members cover. How has that worked, you ask?
For three years now, anything good on climate goes to “conversation” to die; everything anti-climate bypasses “conversation” and goes straight to operations. And the “conversation” companies are cool with that — if not in on it.
AND, no member has troubled to ask the Chamber, “In the last decade, how much fossil fuel money have you gotten? How much did it cost them to make you a ‘worst climate obstructer’? Are you still taking fossil fuel money as you obstruct?”
Seems like the kind of thing inquiring minds would want to know, if they took their stewardship and fiduciary responsibilities seriously. The law doesn’t love willful blindness.
