**Decimation of the “Climate Cartel”?**

The ongoing battle against what many are calling the “climate cartel” has taken a crucial turn as six state attorneys general, spearheaded by Florida's Attorney General James Uthmeier, have issued stern warnings to the nonprofit organization Ceres, Inc.

In a letter to Ceres’ CEO Mindy Lubber, the attorneys general accused the group of infringing on antitrust laws while undermining consumer protections.


Ceres aims to transform industries by advocating for businesses to adopt environmental social governance (ESG) investments, pushing companies to commit to net-zero emissions initiatives. However, this pressure tactics—described as "stakeholder engagement" and shareholder activism—have drawn intense scrutiny.

The AGs allege that Ceres has fostered a climate of fear, where companies that hesitate to comply risk facing “greenwashing” accusations, temporarily damaging their reputations and operations. They argue that these actions could constrict supply chains, raise consumer prices, and ultimately harm the American economy.

This latest stand against the climate agenda highlights a growing discontent with the elevation of radical environmental policies that many Americans feel do little more than signal virtue while potentially jeopardizing jobs and livelihoods.

Ceres’ activities have reportedly decreased the demand for vital oil supplies, directly impacting working families—especially in energy-dependent states.

Attorney general Stephen Cox from Alaska emphasized the anticompetitive nature of Ceres’ practices, stating, “Ceres is the ringleader of the climate cartel and their efforts to achieve net-zero must stop to protect consumers and the economy.”

Their letter articulates that the coercive methods employed by Ceres are more than just misguided attempts at activism—they risk monopolizing market behavior to fulfill environmental ambitions at the expense of economic stability.

The coordinated front from these state officials marks a significant pushback against excessive regulatory pressures from both nonprofits and the federal government, seeking to restore balance in the American business landscape.

As this issue unfolds, the implications for traditional energy sectors and consumer rights will be paramount. The bureaucratic push for an aggressive climate agenda may well see increased resistance as more states join the ranks of those defending their economic sovereignty against what they label as the overreach of entities like Ceres.

With states like Florida, Texas, and Alaska now voicing concerns, the tide may be turning against the so-called “climate cartel”—putting the spotlight back on a balanced approach to energy usage that respects both environmental and economic concerns.

In a period when conservatives are increasingly aware of the overreach of progressive policies, this collective action by state leaders could signal a shift toward more accountable practices in the marketplace, benefiting both consumers and energy industries alike.
