Big Tech CEOs Support Paris Climate Agreement, Opposing US Government

Big Tech CEOs for Apple, Google, Microsoft, and other companies signed an agreement with a labor union leader stating that they would uphold the standards set by the Paris Agreement.

The statement signed by 78 CEOs said, any of us came together to rally behind the US participation in the Paris Agreement.

It also said that the combined companies employed more than two million people in the United States and the union represented 12.5 million workers. However, the total of those in the American workforce is estimated to be at around 157 million, according to the Pew Research Center.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a statement, President Trump made the decision to withdraw from the Paris agreement because of the unfair economic burden imposed on American workers, businesses, and taxpayers by U.S.

They argued in their statement, Staying in the Paris Agreement will strengthen our competitiveness in global markets, positioning the United States to lead the deployment of new technologies that support the transition, provide for our workers and communities, and create jobs and companies built to last.
