Annisa,
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is supposed to protect the public from financial deception and corporate misconduct. Instead, under Trump, it's doing the bidding of fossil fuel billionaires by allowing oil and gas companies to hide their greenhouse gas emissions — shielding their role in the climate crisis from public view.
This is blatant corruption. For years, the SEC required major corporations to disclose their environmental impact, ensuring transparency for investors and the public. But now, after just weeks in office, Trump's SEC has caved to oil and gas executives — including two of his biggest donors — by suspending a rule that forced energy companies to report their emissions.
Fossil fuel billionaires spent millions to get Trump elected, and now they're reaping the rewards. Along with Trump's new Energy Secretary, Chris Wright, they've worked relentlessly to dismantle accountability measures that expose their industry's climate destruction. And now, they've secured exactly what they paid for: a government that protects polluters instead of people.
This decision is not just morally reprehensible — it's also financially reckless. Climate change is one of the biggest economic risks of our time, and even major financial institutions support disclosure rules to assess long-term threats. Worsening droughts, food insecurity, wildfires, and extreme weather aren't distant concerns — they're happening right now, and intensifying with each passing year.
The SEC must immediately reverse this corrupt decision and reinstate mandatory greenhouse gas disclosures. Sign the petition now!
