climate change...In fact, analysts say, for investors interested
in managing the economic risks of climate change, the SEC is among
the least helpful places to look....When issuing marketing
materials and press releases, U.S. companies frequently warn that
rising global temperatures could cost them money. They tout
specific green projects, like solar roofs and increased
efficiency. But when it comes time to report to the Securities and
Exchange Commission, the same companies stick to broad terminology
and sanded-down statements...Take Target Corp., which outlined
some of its efforts to become more climate-friendly in its 2015
sustainability report: solar panels, smart-grid technology,
low-power stores, recycling programs and a recent pledge made at
the White House to cut greenhouse gas emissions.<br>
Or IBM, which issued a detailed climate report last year, too,
telling a nonprofit that energy efficiency standards for computer
products present a “high” financial cost that would be “virtually
certain” to affect the tech giant within a year...A ClimateWire
examination of corporate documents, congressional audits and
independent reports, along with interviews with investors, former
SEC employees and congressional staffers, shows a disparity in
what companies say about<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b

Clinton advisers contrasts sharply with Trump's campaign, which
is relying on just a few outside experts such as Oklahoma oilman
Harold Hamm to help chart his energy agenda....Like Obama, <b>Clinton
is prepared to rely on her executive powers to make progress
on climate change, rather than waiting on Congress to send her
legislation...</b></b><span style="font-weight: normal;">.</span><b
style="font-weight: normal;"> Kristina Costa, a Clinton campaign
policy adviser who previously worked at the White House and the
Center for American Progress, has taken the lead in working with
Houser, Kobren and Ogden in evaluating the recommendations and
determining whether to translate them into official campaign
positions...<b>pressure is growing for Clinton to keep Energy
Secretary Ernest Moniz and EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy </b>on
for at least the first few months of her potential presidency.
Both Moniz and McCarthy are well liked and are seen as a crucial
bridge to Obama's climate agenda. And they wouldn't have to face
a messy confirmation battle in the Senate. (Moniz was approved
unanimously and McCarthy won the support of six
Republicans.)...Several candidates have also emerged for
interior secretary, including Democrats such as former Colorado
Sen. Mark Udall, former Alaska Sen. Mark Begich and Colorado
Gov. John Hickenlooper. Hayes, who served as a top Interior
official until 2013, is also thought to be seeking to rise to
the role of secretary under Clinton.</b><br>
