Last month, the Securities and Exchange Commission released a new rule for public comment that would require public companies to report the climate-related impact of their businesses. Since it has been well established in multiple IPCC reports that the human impact on climate has never been observed, only modeled, this seems unnecessary.

The climate models used by the IPCC and NOAA to “compute” the human impact on climate have already been invalidated by Drs. Ross McKitrick and John Christy in their well-known Earth and Space Science peer-reviewed paper. In fact, McKitrick and Christy’s paper is cited numerous times in the latest IPCC report, called AR6, which acknowledges the point. It also admits that one likely reason is that the models are overestimating the sensitivity of the climate to carbon dioxide, and that the models are overestimating warming relative to observations in both the atmosphere and the oceans.
