Microsoft's Reaction to the White House Announcement on the Paris Agreement

Microsoft's Reaction to the White House Announcement on the Paris Agreement

Today, the White House announced its intent to withdraw the United States from the Paris Agreement on climate change. Over 190 countries, from China to India to the EU, have signed the agreement and committed to taking actions to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.

Microsoft believes that climate change is an urgent issue that demands global action. We have a longstanding commitment to sustainability, which includes operating 100 percent carbon neutral and setting goals to increase the amount of green energy to power our operations.

We all live on a small planet and every nation needs to work with others to protect it. We’ve been a steadfast supporter of the Paris Agreement, from encouraging nations to come to an agreement in 2015 to urging the U.S. to ratify the agreement in 2016.

In the past few months, Microsoft has actively engaged the Trump Administration on the business case for remaining in the Paris Agreement. We’ve sent letters to and held meetings on this topic with senior officials in the State Department and the White House. And in the past month, we’ve joined with other American business leaders to take out full-page ads in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and New York Post, urging the Administration to keep the United States in the Paris Agreement.

We believe that continued U.S. participation benefits U.S. businesses and the economy in important and multiple ways. A global framework strengthens competitiveness for American businesses. It creates new markets for innovative clean technologies, from green power to smart grids to cloud-enabled solutions. And by strengthening global action over time, the Agreement reduces future climate damage to people and organizations around the world.

We are disappointed with today’s decision by the White House to withdraw the United States from the landmark, globally supported Paris Agreement on climate change.

We remain steadfastly committed to the sustainability, carbon and energy goals that we have set as a company and to the Paris Agreement’s ultimate success. Our experience shows us that these investments and innovations are good for our planet, our company, our customers and the economy.

Path to Lasting Peace Abstract Maybe many a time you looked at clock and realized passing time as normal or according to Einstein or Heisenberg theory have a deeper view about time and place acting. I was thinking about this great acting as you and always foul I’m closed and prisoned by this acting and as I researched about fundamental science I found a different and deeper view about affections of this acting. If I guess true you are thinking about coherency of peace and place and time. Before answer, I want ask a question. What acting can affect in putting out a lasting peace? There are different theories that I believe discussing about them just waste your time. I think peace means creating a certain sphere for all creatures. Where of humankind is one of the most affective and destructive kind of creations. Lasting peace appears when everybody do what benefits itself even it’s obverse even it’s surroundings. Maybe you understood the answer, maybe still thinking. By the way I recommend you to read main paper, because it is simple abstracted and can’t be more abstracted, because maybe lose some points. Key Words Time – Space – Peace – Lasting peace – Adam Smith – John Forbes Nash Sometimes I wish I had this insight too many years ago and this rule is understood by people and even is trained. In my opinion math and physic are one of the biggest and comprehensive languages of creation that facts could be analyzed and explained by them. The rule that I would like to talk about is the very huge rule that governs on a part we are captured in (space-time) same as other rules they affect our life if you would see it like me certainly no more war you had. I asked myself too many times what insights should I have to evaluate the problems more accurately, since for recognizing we all need the measure to be able to judge and make a decision. As you know we live in a big 3 dimensional space. (Length, width, height) due to the impact of this factor the main components are ended to these three and in this space-time just one exact motion takes place that the component of each set is composed of three general categories otherwise our understanding of the subject is incomplete since completion of other group is the evidence of the truth of what I have understood. For example: Out generality is composed of body, spirit and psyche, and according to experts this is classified as following: Physical, physiological and psychological and from the perspective of psychologist all our actions depend on Conscious mind, unconscious mind and self-conscious and the foundation of each family consist of woman, man, child. Social classes: high, middle, low Three primary colors: green, blue, red. Tens: past, present, future. Zoroastrian ethics: good thought, good words, good deeds. Principal of classification of electricity: in execution: DC-AC, single phase, three phases Static electricity: in three phases electrode if one phase didn’t work they are deactivated very soon Mathematical foundation: numbers, operators, relations Physic: quantum mechanics, classic mechanics, barrier between classical and quantum world This question maybe is raised that what is the relation between space-time and our communications factor? According to type of structure of this place, this great acting affects every things even our relationships and as I said before we have to consider three objects to inspect each kind of human acting in this part of creation. Human – his surrounding - the relation between human and his surrounding Since our generality of our being is made of our communications when the best results come out of the relation that person thinks about himself and also about the person of interest and even the surroundings (it is not necessary to have a human being as a person of interest, which is why I emphasize to what I understood) To better understand I suggest having a tour in history. Too many years ago Adam Smith said when the best result is achieved in a relationship person do that to its advantage and so long this belief has form ed the basis for political and cultural relations. In the fifties or sixties AD professor John Nash said when the best result is achieved in a relationship the person do that to its advantages and his group advantages and is recognized in 1995. But I believe the person must do that is beneficial for him and his surrounding, and a part of our surrounding includes in our environment. According to what was mentioned I would like to evaluate these two processes (Smith and John theory) related to human behavior with their own time to explain the other part of effects of creation factors. When Mr. Smith released his theory the result was nothing just I or being selfish and in its large scale is the dictator that the first and second wars are the results of this insight. Let me add that human believes every-duration is affected on the event apparent during its time and after that. And if you look deeply you can see all effects of fundamental creation factors in these events sharply. For example the emergence of dictatorship can be justified by the impact of factors such as versatility, compatible and evolution. Because the great man like Buddha believed what we are is the conclusion of what we were. When John Nash said the best results come when the person do that has advantages for him and his group (me and you), the society is progressed to us from me and you but there was some kind of doubt in his insight therefor when they cooperated within a group they learned more to work in a group . I would like to explain more because I believe the human, himself, his surrounding, his person of interest, his surrounding or it would better to say himself, his group, his person of interest because if I had said himself and his group of person of interest maybe a big problem would happen and there was a probability of fighting. For example, there was probably sacrifice and the gradual destruction for the team. As nowadays we can see it. But when I say himself, his person of interest his surrounding it is near to peace and wisdom since his person of interest could be a membership of his group and the structure of person who cares about himself and his group and even his surrounding is more complete than the person who is treated based on other’s theory. Adam Smith said: himself (1) John Nash said: himself and his group (1) (2) I believe: himself, his person of interest, his surrounding If you look accurately you will see just in the third theory there is a rotational motion and if you look more deeply and pay attention to the electrons movement around the atom core you can see they intersect as a triangular. And if you review the geometry structure of the pyramids is made of four triangles and just because of this special structure any food does not spoil in it. And if you fill the triangular container with water the metals will not disturbed in it. And if you pay attention to the place factor you find out the reason of completion of each principal consist of three parts. Fortunately we live in an era the people are learning how to live in the third theory. The important thing is that nations are developing toward globalization and wanting the world without borderlines will be possible in the frame of third theory. It must be mentioned that the groups that are developing to the globalization their legal structure and more important than it their economic system is based on John Nash’s theory and probably this paradox in social behavior and executive rules will be troublesome. In my opinion if in economic theories the goods value is adjusted by the supply, demand and require then the probability of corruption and rent will be least. Fortunately because of evolution and other factor, the people have found out their own way, sooner or later the world will reach to that place, as a great man said no reach any hasty but the only way is going. Hope to live peacefully in the borderless and without war world.

The man induced climate change is typically much smaller than the variations due to weather, so are hard to measure. However, climate change predicts more rain - Harvey gave us all time USA records of rain - perhaps the man made effects on climate change are becoming easier to see!

Climate change is science just like chemistry, biology, and physics and can be measured. I applaud Microsoft for doing the right thing! It's disappointing that so many people who speak about climate change have not made the effort to educate themselves on the science. I hope the victims of Hurricane Harvey will be motivated to learn more and spread the word. We are all in this challenge together. The longer people remain ignorant on climate change science, the more suffering there will be.
