Tim Cook to Apple Investors: Drop Dead

"NCPPR is a member of the Cooler Heads Coalition, whose object is described as "dispelling the myths of global warming by exposing flawed economic, scientific, and risk analysis". They deny climate change and confront the CEO's of large companies claiming ROI is more important than protecting the planet for our children."

What Tim Cook should have said was that he is thinking of ROI when Apple does these things that it does. That it helps the Brand, that it helps attract and retain talent that wants and is motivated to change the world. The next great product at Apple will be built by someone who believes in the positively impacting policies at Apple.

If Apple became a company that only believed in doing things for money, they would rapidly lose their innovators and market value would drop rapidly.

From the people who was there, it didn't sound like the way this press release suggested it went. This was probably intentionally worded as such to stir the pot.

Cook got angry when the second question was asked, which sounded like the rep demanded Cook to commit to a promise not to do anything that won't make the company more profitable.

This press release is put out by an anti-science climate change denial group (yes, there are still people this dumb in the world) and shouldn't even be posted on Hacker News. Downvote if you can.

Eh only certain ignorant ones.
