Call me cynical every day of the week and twice on sundays, I'm critical because at this point, a letter doesn't feel like they are taking much ownership of the issue. People wanted those benefits for themselves, and there's little question of trying to reap benefits for one's self and then push the potential downsides elsewhere.

I realize climate change is a broad societal issue that does indeed heavily involve externalizing costs to society, but I think it's difficult to dispute that the ideal scenario would have no impact on them, and when it comes to Google's business and other employees, the outcomes probably slant negative.

Are there employees who don't mind working with energy companies? Are there people who explicitly don't want to limit Google's customer base? Do they make Google worse? Should we be critical of them?
