The Economy Will Do Better With Climate Action
The warnings pile up
This is a good overview. @AOC is correct that companies can’t be trusted: many are still funding the more powerful opposition (@USChamber, @ShopFloorNAM, @NFIB, @FarmBureau) trying to stamp out these tendrils of progress. #ClimateCosts
At the same time, big corporations feeling they have to do something is significant. It’s a signal of where the public has moved. Corps. don’t do this kind of thing without lots of market analysis so this must sell well. The public is clearly with us, as even Luntz polling shows.
It is a signal of where the economics are. Addressing climate is obviously a better business case than ignoring it, as repeated studies show. The last redoubt of climate denial is the false pretense that climate action will hurt the economy.
These companies know well that the economy will do much better with climate action. #ClimateCosts
Indeed the warnings of the cost of failure to act are ever more numerous and dire. #ClimateCosts
