Microsoft's president, Ben Smith, has publicly acknowledged the scientific consensus that is anthropogenic climate change. Accordingly, the executive has announced an initiative by which the company aims to throw its carbon emissions into reverse. This will include reducing them to negative values by 2030.

Damn fake environmentalists.

The problem isn't carbon, the problem is garbage, or actual pollution. Of course they won't report that, since they have to do real work to fix it.

What about:
-McDonald's with their unrecyclable paper straws?
-Fast food corporations that don't really recycle and the contents in the recycling and garbage ultimately ending up in the same bags?
-Most garbage is shipped to countries like Thailand.
-Garbage island somewhere in the ocean
-China with their increased industrial output puts out a gigantic amount of pollution out to neighbouring Asian countries, and of course the rest of rural China.
-Japan with the ongoing Fukushima problem and the radioactive materials that are constantly leaking.

That's what's really killing the planet. Not some stupid carbon. It's all about "feeling good" but doing the same thing in the end.

the pollution you are talking about is absolutely not our main problem.  stop taking your subjective aesthetic considerations for reference.  Do some science, you idiot.

The president is actually Brad Smith, not Ben Smith. :)

Typical political scheming from corporate licking boots.

No science at all. That includes who wrote this piece who forgot what learned in school about scientific process, evidence.

Tell me what was the cloud cover in year 1900?
