Exxon, Apple and other corporate giants will have to disclose all their emissions under California’s new climate laws – that will have a global impact::California is the world’s fifth-largest economy. Laws tested there often spread across the U.S. and around the world.

    It will be closer to the truth than before. I also hope that they actually check the data given, which is normal for taxes for example.

    Also I don’t think the emissions of apple, Google and Exxon are even in the same realm, but that’s pure speculation, because Exxon does oil and my expectations are, that that’s dirty.

        Check it for correctness like they do with taxes. Via inspection or something.

          And then what? What makes you think anyone will give a shit, especially politicians that they donate tons of money to?

            Then we will know something closer to the truth, Its not like it’s going to solve the problem, but it’s still a step in the right direction imho.

            I just hope that this enables NGOs to have reliable numbers to base their campaigns on or something like that. Every bit helps.
