One of the more provocative items contained in Commissioner Lee’s invitation to provide comments on potential climate change disclosure rules was this question:

What climate-related information is available with respect to private companies, and how should the Commission’s rules address private companies’ climate disclosures, such as through exempt offerings, or its oversight of certain investment advisers and funds?

Not surprisingly, this has attracted a lot of comments – pro and con.  Ann Lipton recently blogged about the response to the possibility of private company disclosure, and included excerpts from comments submitted by some high-profile players, including representatives of private equity and major investors. Check the blog out – you may find some of their views to be a bit different than you might have expected.
