Google workers call on company to adopt aggressive climate plan

Letter signed by more than 1,000 employees calls for zero emissions by 2030 in latest wave of industry climate activism

More than 1,000 Google workers have signed a public letter calling on their employer to commit to an aggressive "company-wide climate plan" that includes canceling contracts with the fossil fuel industry and halting its donations to climate change deniers.

The letter, which is addressed to Google's chief financial officer, Ruth Porat, also calls for zero emissions by 2030 and "zero collaboration with entities enabling the incarceration, surveillance, displacement or oppression of refugees or frontline communities".
