Does Gore Agree with Apple’s Decision to Leave the Chamber? Oh yeah. Absolutely.
Wall Street Journal goes for a gotcha and fails:
Washington Wire: Did you have any conversations with officials at Apple Inc. [on whose board of directors Gore serves] prior to Apple’s recent announcement that it is quitting the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as a result of differences with the Chamber on the issue of U.S. climate policy?Gore: No. I ran into one of my fellow board members the day after the announcement, and he said, ‘Did you talk to Steve?’ And I said ‘no, did you?’ [laughs] I didn’t talk to Steve.” [That, of course, would be Apple founder Steve Jobs.]
Washington Wire: Did you agree with Apple’s decision?
Gore: Oh yeah. Absolutely.
Full excerpts here, although I wish they would release the full transcript.
Al Gore’s new book is Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis.
