In his job as Apple CEO, Tim Cook is mostly known for having a demeanor that's in some ways antithetical to that of Steve Jobs. Instead of bombast and bold claims, Cook's soothing Southern-tinged speech and steely temperament have marked him as a man whose head could be nothing but level. That is, unless you're a shareholder who thinks climate change is bogus.

We do a lot of things besides business for profit. Easy to say when you have 100 billion in the bank. Tim, is having the phones made in China one of those things. Also, making the earth a better place than when you found it is nice. But what about LYING, MANIPULATING AND CHERRY PICKING WARMING DATA for political purposes. Why don’t mention that Tim.
Anybody else ever heard of a CEO directly telling certain investors to get out?
Really? You think that’s reasonable? “you can get out.” Cook basically said my way or the highway and f... you if you don’t like it.
“Id sell APL on Tim Cook alone.”
I did, and have never regretted it!
Geeeezh. . . . . . Get out of new York now get out of Apple Stock next thing you know the liberal haters are going to want none conformists to get off of their world.
As I sit here in Texas in March, no less, we have a full blown snow storm. If you are a Climate Change supporter, you need to get out of the US.
Apparently this douche is the kind of leader who ignores the warning about "icebergs ahead".
I call them the 2+2=5 folks.
So all Apple investors should only be like minded. Investment in a Corp is not the goal of a company? This must be an addendum to E-101! I’ll have to remember that when purchasing stock. Is this the new segregation of open minds and their investment quality?
We don’t need your money just your promise to bow to what ever The Great Apple has to say! And was that a cue to Sell?

hmmm so I guess they really are “Zeros” people
Climate change is real. Its called seasons, its called different ages, it has been occurring since the dawn of time. What is bogus is the man made claims and the carbon tax nonsense etc.
Tell me about climate change.
Yesterday here in Dallas it was 80 degrees, today it’s 23 with freezing rain.
Like so many who promote “climate change”, the only climate change they’re interested in is “global warming”. Foolish, ignorant people.
Sorry about that. Just pointing out that it is cold and snowy in Texas in March. You would think someone running a business would at least have some heart for those businesses that were modeled on warmer climate projections. They are all going bust eventually.
Is anyone forcing you to purchase and own the stock? If you disagree with AAPL’s stance on sustainability then sell the stock. If enough sell and the stock declines then perhaps the board would make a change I leadership. That’s the epitome of the free market.
