Summary

California faces an intense climate battle as major corporations pour millions into lobbying against a groundbreaking bill that mandates full disclosure of their carbon emissions. The legislation, which aims to unveil companies' real impact on climate change, is nearing a vote in the state Assembly after passing the Senate. Meanwhile, corporations, including Chevron and Blue Diamond Growers, have ramped up their opposition, despite many already pledging net-zero carbon commitments in the future.

In the face of extreme climatic upheavals, California's bid to unveil corporate contributions to climate change is vehemently obstructed by big industries, reflecting the stark chasm between professed "net-zero commitments" and actual corporate accountability. The insidious dance of greenwashing, underpinned by millions in lobbying, is a stark reminder that true societal transformation demands more than hollow corporate rhetoric.
