Google, IBM and Microsoft should use their influence in Washington to help get a strong international climate deal in Copenhagen, says Greenpeace. These companies should also publicly rebuke the US Chamber of Commerce, a lobby group that has been using its funds to oppose climate change legislation - or leave in protest as Apple has. Google, Microsoft and IBM are amongst the largest and most influential of US companies in terms of market share, numbers of employees and contribution to GDP.
