“The Greenhouse Gas Protocol is being used as a back door for unelected bureaucrats and far-left organizations to impose radical environmental standards on American businesses.
“While California is already forcing aggressive climate disclosure mandates on companies, these proposals would effectively let one state’s agenda set rules for the entire country, expanding red tape, driving up costs, and putting American companies at a competitive disadvantage instead of encouraging investment in new technologies and innovation,” Guthrie told Breitbart News.
The Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) is a global standard for companies and organizations to measure and manage their greenhouse gas emissions (GHG).
