El presidente ejecutivo de Google, Eric Schmidt, anunció que su compañía retirará el apoyo que le da a un grupo político conservador porque cree que éste miente sobre el cambio climático. El grupo, denominado American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), cabildea en las legislaturas estatales en una variedad de temas. Y ha propuesto una legislación para revertir el mandato gubernamental por un mayor uso de energías renovables.
[...] your calculated departure from ALEC is based on misinformation from climate activists who intentionally confuse free market policy perspectives for climate change denial.
The facts are: ALEC recognizes that climate change is an important issue and just hosted a roundtable conversation for a variety of companies —including Google— on this very issue. Indeed, no ALEC model policy denies climate change; however, the organization does maintain model policy designed to address the scientific and economic aspects of the issue of climate change. The organizations that pressured you consistently conflate climate change denial with having significant concerns over government mandates, subsidies and climate regulations. To ALEC, nothing is more anathema than the government picking winners and losers.

En definitiva, lo de siempre. Para
los verdeslas sandías, cualquiera que no esté de acuerdo con sus propuestas políticas es un negacionista.
