They may be techno-wizards, and I love their products, but let’s watch as corporate “progressives” and useful idiots bend reality and allow themselves to be sucked into the left-wing abyss, shall we? (And watch as our JunkScience wizard Steve Milloy exposes them as the hypocrites and political science dunderheads and sycophants that they are, on his GreenHell blog).
If Apple was really concerned about the environment…
October 5, 2009… it would leave China, not the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Apple told the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in its resignation letter:
“Apple is committed to protecting the environment and the communities we operate in around the world. We strongly object to the Chamber’s recent comments opposing the EPA’s efforts to limit greenhouse gases. We would prefer the Chamber take a more progressive stance on this critical issue and play a constructive role in addressing the climate crisis. However, because the Chamber’s position differs so sharply with Apple’s, we have decided to resign our membership effective immediately.”
So when will Apple pressure the Chinese government to adopt the Clean Air Act? Isn’t actual air pollution in China much worse than the invisible, if not debatable/mythical, problem of U.S. CO2 emissions?
We doubt that Apple has any answers to those questions as Al I-need-cap-and-trade-to-become-the-first-carbon-billionaire Gore sits on its board of directors and, no doubt, cheerled Apple’s resignation from the U.S. Chamber.
Air quality in Shenzhen, China where Apple makes iPhones.
Air quality over Apple HQ in Cuppertino, CA, where the company counts its profits made from the pollution in Shenzhen, China.
…To say nothing of the Chinese communist dictatorship government, and egregious human rights record and policies, and religious persecution, and so much more.
