Amazon, Citigroup and Ford are among more than 40 companies calling on Congress to work closely with President-elect Joe Biden to address the threat of climate change

WASHINGTON—A broad cross section of big U.S. corporations including Amazon.com Inc., Citigroup Inc. and Ford Motor Co. are calling on Congress to work closely with President-elect Joe Biden to address the threat of climate change.

In a letter to be sent to Congress and the Biden transition team on Wednesday, more than 40 companies say, and urge “President-elect Biden and the new Congress to work together to enact ambitious, durable, bipartisan climate solutions.” The letter doesn’t detail any specific action plan or policy proposal, but it is the latest indication that

What happened to “a free market economy can regulate itself?”

JeffBezos amazon Really thoughtful of Amazon to push this. Now maybe Amazon should pay some taxes in the USA to cover the costs of all the environmental programs need to counter climate change.

.djaberclimate !

Climate change is a hoax

More money for them

I wonder if Amazon would feel the same way about climate change if I put them out of business? All those Amazon trucks making deliveries cause a lot of pollution.

That's great. The GOP has failed America and the world on this super important issue. =

About time...killing the clients over here !

Without actually being in the Paris Accords....we are still meeting all the benchmarks OF the Paris Accords. I think it is a pretty large assumption to think that people can change the climate. Let's get rock-solid data first.

Let's all hope and pray to everything sacred that it's not too little, too late.

I wonder who took over Ford

No.

Something has to change Did you know that Biden supported the UK in the US Senate in 1982 over the Falklands War? Not the first time that the US has kicked Argie ass in the Falklands though. Lexington Raid 1831 anyone? p.101 👇

I guess so. All have large stakes in EV.

By the way Mr Biden is not President-Elect yet and it seems it won’t be.

maybe put out those brush fires first

Fire probably started by a tossed cigarette ... and it's a 'climate change' problem?

Of course they do. New regulations that will have enough loopholes that their extensive legal team can circumvent, or they have the resources to implement while hindering any possible competition.

There is no threat of climate change. The only threat is the infringement of our rights and the complete and utter waste of money thrown at inefficient businesses wasting taxpayer money with no accountability or expectations. Shame

Large companies can address climate change on their own if they want to.

When election fraud is proven you’ll have to apologize for all this horse hockey.

You should tell Ford if that’s how they feel then they should stop donating to the two Republican candidates in the GA Senate runoffs, otherwise they’d look like massive hypocrites

How much of our tax paying dollars do they want for this startup?

Climate is not an immediate crisis, but CCP virus is. Our option is either: punishing CCP or Second Black Dead.

I think Amazon needs to pay their workers better and offer real benefits packages.

“Regulate our competition”

Virtue signaling much?

Energy... as a native Californian that has no desire to leave my gorgeous state... what advancements do we plan to strive for in energy. Electric car conversion is being forced on us. We have rolling blackouts from time to time... Rushed/forced is ignorance... change in needed

Lol Citigroup...they know Joe well for the work he did for credit card companies.

Doesn't the Fed have this covered? They said they could protect us from climate change.
