Some corporations get serious. Is it enough?
I have been following the climate change-related defections from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce with some surprise, and even a bit of hope. I never thought I would see major U.S. corporations agreeing with efforts to regulate and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but I appear to be seeing it now. Pigs have flown.
Today, Apple became the fourth company (last week, Oregon-based Nike left the Chamber's board, but remains a member) to leave the Chamber over the group's policy of denying climate change and fighting all efforts to reduce greenhouse gases.
It's too soon to call this a "revolt," but I think that the wind may have shifted a bit, and it's definitely no longer blowing at the Chamber's back. We'll see what the next few weeks bring, and how this impacts the Waxman-Markey discussions on Capitol Hill.
Count this development a hopeful sign in a dark time.
