Climate Policy Failures
Conduct Screen Environmental Harm
Companies that actively obstruct climate policy, misrepresent climate science, set misleading climate targets, or lobby against emissions regulation — climate denial funding, greenwashing net-zero commitments that exclude material scope categories, opposing carbon pricing or renewable mandates. The test is active obstruction or deception, not simply having high emissions (that is emissions). Distinct from political_influence (which covers lobbying broadly) and emissions (which covers the pollution itself).
