Over the last several weeks, we have seen a great deal of coverage within the green community of major national and international corporations leaving the U.S. Chamber of Commerce because of their stated position on climate change. PG&E, Exelon, and Apple (among others) all left the Chamber and Nike left the board. The Chamber's response? A few companies leaving doesn't change anything. The Yes Men held a fake news conference forcing them to restate their opposition to strong climate legislation. Result? The Chamber sues the Yes Men and uses them to raise money. But now it seems that all this pressure has had an effect after all.
