Since then, the 2016 investor shareholder resolution season yielded a record breaking number of resolutions \u2013 94 \u2013 addressing climate change, many levied as challenges to large oil companies.<\/p>\n<p>And American public concern on global warming is reaching an eight year high, with nearly two-thirds of adults saying they worry about global warming a \u201cgreat deal\u201d or \u201ca fair amount\u201d, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gallup.com\/poll\/190010\/concern-global-warming-eight-year-high.aspx\">Gallup<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Facing all the facts, not cherry-picking them, can ground the task force\u2019s work in today\u2019s dynamic environment and enable an effective response in a changing world.<span id=\"more-13203\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Solve Methane<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While understanding and concern on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edf.org\/energy\/strong-national-policy-cut-methane-pollution\">methane challenge<\/a> has snowballed, API\u2019s response has severely lagged.<\/p>\n<p>But it doesn\u2019t have to.<\/p>\n<p>The methane emissions from the U.S. oil and natural gas industry account for the climate damage over a 20-year timeframe equivalent to roughly 240 coal fired power plants. And yet, when the Environmental Protection Agency issued rules earlier this year requiring operators to implement basic safeguards to detect and prevent emissions, API\u2019s public response was to decry new environmental rules as \u201cunreasonable and burdensome\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Months prior, API\u2019s combative regulatory filing questioned the authority of EPA even to regulate methane emissions, resisted twice-a-year inspections for accidental leaks and urged inspection exemptions that ignore insights on leak unpredictability.<\/p>\n<p>The next round of methane rules is around the corner, and better late than never for API to embrace the United States\u2019 goal of a 45% reduction in methane emissions from the oil and gas sector and to support effective national methane rules grounded in science and economics. Supporting a level playing field to address the invisible but undeniable methane problem would increase investor confidence and keep more product in the pipelines working for the economy, not against the climate. And it just might help build public trust in an industry that according to Edelman lags only the pharmaceutical and financial services industries in that category.<\/p>\n<p>Truth be told, new regulations and compliance are not cost-free, but neither are exploration and drilling. Investing in effective rules will provide climate and environmental safeguards \u2013 a needed advancement responsive to legitimate pressure that is only rising.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Support Carbon Pricing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Implementing a market based approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions is widely thought to be the ultimate key to achieving U.S. climate goals including cutting emissions 80% by 2050. Geographies from northeastern states and California to South Africa and the EU have implemented various forms of carbon pricing. A number of mostly European API members have publicly supported pricing carbon, for example BP recognizing \u201cthat carbon pricing by governments is the most comprehensive and economically efficient policy to limit greenhouse gas emissions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And yet, some prominent API members have to date withheld support for carbon pricing, or provided lukewarm quasi-endorsements but not lobbying muscle.<\/p>\n<p>The oil and gas industry has survived through evolving, and it\u2019s time to evolve on carbon pricing. An economically rational policy can provide the investment clarity companies want, while delivering the greenhouse gas reductions that societies, supply chains, and ecosystems need.<\/p>\n<p>API is a large organization with diverse views represented, and the climate task force\u2019s job won\u2019t be easy. But the time for change couldn\u2019t be better.<\/p>\n<p><em>This post first appeared on the <a href=\"http:\/\/business.edf.org\/blog\/2016\/07\/21\/3-keys-for-the-american-petroleum-institutes-new-climate-task-force\/\">EDF + Business Blog<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Ben Ratner, Director, EDF&#8217;s Corporate Partnerships Program The climate change discussion is percolating even in surprising places.
