Apple has resigned its membership in the US Chamber of Commerce in protest over the
USCC's refusal to accept the science of global warming. Apple joins GE, PG&E,
Exelon (the US's largest gas &
electric utility) and others in resigning. Nike has resigned from the USCC
board but retains its membership.
