Because these cover companies doing business in California, and require them to collect full-supply-chain information and estimate the climate impact of using their products, I expect to see this disclosure law to have global implications when it comes to corporate climate accountability.
even if they do not gut the bill, this sounds more like a long term strategy to help people make more informed decisions about what their purchases contribute towards.
we need something to keep fresh water clean and available to the public. we could probably use more incentives for low-to-zero carbon emission Processes.
The governor’s signature is the last step of turning the bill into law. No more opportunities to gut the law itself; what’s left is trying to alter regulations and accounting rules.
Why does the article say it could be gutted?
There are people who want to change the legislation, but changing it in the way they’re talking about requires passing another law through the Legislature
“This product is known to emit carbon in the State of California”
And then nothing will change.
Its a requirement to do rather a bit more than that. I recommend reading the article.
