Adding momentum to the revolt against the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Apple on Monday resigned from the business group because of its opposition to federal efforts to limit greenhouse gases.
It should be pointed out that the USCOC is not only “opposed to federal efforts to limit greenhouse gases”, they are actually deep into denialist territory.
U.S. Chamber of Commerce Calls for Trial of Climate Science
William Kovacs, the Chamber’s senior vice president for environment, technology and regulatory affairs, in an interview with the “Los Angeles Times.”
It would be “the Scopes monkey trial of the 21st century,” he said, “evolution versus creationism.”
This man is seriously confused and wishes to share that confusion with us. I guess it’s working because I have no idea what he means. He’s representing the scientific point of view against the unscientific views of the world’s climate scientists? What?? Or maybe he thinks creationism won against the evil science of evolution. (It most certainly didn’t.)
It’s not encouraging that a group that, to some degree, represents U.S. business is so backward looking and fearful. At least some of their now former members are thinking of the opportunities that lie ahead. Good for them.
