Apple CEO Tim Cook: Trump's Decision to Withdraw From Paris Accord 'Was Wrong for Our Planet'

Those countries are further behind, and expecting them to make the switch as quickly isn't realistic. Not to mention, it would severely handicap their growth which would hurt world economies, including ours. It would also be extremely hypocritical of industrialized nations to demand any developing country to suddenly stop burning dirty coal for obvious reasons... except to Trump, apparently.
Clean coal isn't the issue which is why some coal companies urged Trump to sign the accord.
What's the point of talking about nuclear? Tim is right to focus on renewable energy which is the future.
Climate has become the new religion.
There are many "facts" which point to both sides of the argument.
People tend to believe (quite ferociously, like you) one side of the story and loathe the other.
It won't take long before people die of this argument.
The planet doesn't need saving. Even if we set off every nuke on Earth, in a few hundred thousand years, it would be like nothing ever happened. That's a blink of an eye in the planet's life.
It's about saving us, humanity, about having a clean environment, clean drinking water, reliable food sources, etc. It's about handing the next generation something better than we were handed. It's about setting them up for success. It's about looking forward, not being stuck in the past. Renewables are the energy source of the future. Maybe it takes another 30 years, but don't we want the US to be a leader? Or do we want China and other countries to control that technology?
Tim prioritized thinness over function and usability. His opinions are as useful as a cat flap on an elephant house.

Let them control it. The US always leads and we get **** for the effort.
It's annoying, but we Californians had it coming. When you become so arrogant that you think the rest of the country doesn't matter, and then you start forcing federal social laws that only Californians support (Obama), they'll get upset. I don't like Trump, but at least he's returning some power to the states in those areas.
Also, calling the other states idiotic isn't going to educate anyone. There are people turning away from education because they see it as mind control. In some cases, it is, like in some college humanities classes. Look, now people think climate change (and the idea that we cause it) is a hoax because jerks preach it like Jehovah's Witnesses, and/or they try to profit from the scare.

I'm just pointing out that he crushed nothing. You said he crushed her and you are wrong. He crushed nothing. He barely won.
He crushed her emotionally. He beat that fat ass all the way back to chapaquitic.
The agreement says no such thing. And coal is not low cost. It's more expensive then wind, hydro, natural gas, and nuclear, and it will very soon also be more expensive than solar.
No we don't. Coal emission capture and storage technology has never worked at industrial scale and would be prohibitively expensive even if it did.
An extremely rude actor with zero political experience beat one of the most experienced politicians in the world, and he did it over Twitter. I never thought it could happen, and neither did the polls. Clinton and her supporters screwed up big time.

Or maybe those backwater states should follow California's lead and step into the future instead of complaining about every change? California is the epicenter of innovation, economic and social, because it looks forward. Meanwhile other states, mostly red states, you know, the ones that bang the drum for self sufficiency and and all that good stuff, are literally welfare states dependent upon California. Maybe they should get off their you know what's and TRY. But that's too much to ask the entitled middle with their delusions of 1950s American grandeur. My only hope now is that enough of us on the west coast realize just how much the rest of the country is dragging us down and get serious about secession.
Lmmfao. Business are LEAVING CA we have ,have to raise taxes because we can't take care of our infrastructure.
No argument there. She's the worst of the worst. I blame the Democratic Party 100% for Trump's victory. Bernie would have demolished Trump but Clinton loyalists put having the first woman president above country and they are 100% to blame.
Readers,
but ... why Apple force me to buy two devices, an iPad and a MacBook, instead of only one device? MacPad or iPad Surface. Switching between a mouse pointer GUI and a Touch-oriented GUI is technically possible in 2017. But Apple need to do more work. For less money.

Bernie had no chance. A Grilled Cheese Sandwich would have beaten Bernie handsomely.
Not saying things are perfect but get real. California is the world's 6th largest economy. If we weren't saddled with supporting all the red welfare states, we'd have it all.
LOL. How much money does CA spend on welfare for red states? Please cite specific data.
Bernie would have lost as well. Trump snatched one of their core constituencies right out from under the noses of the Democrats. Look deeper into the demographic breakdowns of the polls that were accurately predicting Trump's victory and you will see the exactly why the Democrats lost and why Trump will win again.
"It's the economy, stupids."
That has more to do with technological advances. There's a reason why the middle class is shrinking while the rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer. There's limited resources which is what makes it zero sum.
But I know what you're driving at. Globalism has helped many people out of poverty by spreading knowledge, skills, etc. but it also provided wealthier nations access to low cost workers which is a form of exploitation.
So sick of Cook and his agenda. More focus on Apple would be better for everyone.
Yeah, that's why people waited in line for days to attend his rallies. He had the ability to speak across party lines and engage with people in a meaningful way. He didn't need cheap racist and xenophobic rhetoric to motivate the disenfranchised. He would have brought us together as a country and now we're more divided than ever. Which I'm sure makes the Chinese, Russians and everyone else who is eager for America to tumble very happy.
