Chamber's Lobbying Efforts Contrast Sharply With Members' Climate Views, Report Finds

摘要

Lobbying efforts by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce against Obama administration efforts on climate change are deeply at odds with the perspectives of its board members, eight members of the Senate Democratic caucus said in a report June 15. None of the 108 Chamber board members would explicitly endorse the group's lobbying efforts to kill the Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Power Plan and many of the companies said they were unaware of those initiatives, according to the report. Fifty-two of those board members have publicly supported efforts to address climate change.
