Chamber CEO Takes a Bite Out of Apple

October 7, 2009 at 1:49 pm PT

It looks like the Chamber of Commerce isn’t ready to let Apple Inc. (AAPL) have the last word in the tiff between the two over U.S. climate policy. In a letter to Apple CEO Steven Jobs today, Chamber President Thomas Donohue takes the software maker to task for bolting the business organization a day earlier.

“It is unfortunate that your company didn’t take the time to understand the Chamber’s position on climate and forfeited the opportunity to advance a 21st century approach to climate change,” Donohue says in the letter, which goes on to slam the leading proposal in Congress to limit U.S. greenhouse gas emissions as one that “will cause Americans to lose their jobs and shift greenhouse-gas emissions overseas, negating potential climate benefits.”
