Some Power of the Shareholder

This article talks about how a number of shareholders across the country are trying to get corporations to deal with global warming by writing resolutions for shareholder vote that ask that companies issue reports about how global warming affects their business, act to reduce emissions, and prepare for potential regulations on carbon. Resolutions such as these were on the ballot at 42 companies in the past year. Environmental organizations are promoting this type of activity by targeting companies they feel have a lot of work to do in the global warming area.
