Microsoft employees call company 'complicit' in climate crisis in joint letter

Microsoft workers released a letter protesting Microsoft's role in climatic change (via The Verge). The letter of the alphabet was posted on Github, and states that "information technology's no longer possible for us to ignore Microsoft's complicity in the climate crisis." The alphabetic character was posted days before the Global Climate Strike. As pointed out by The Verge, several employees from Microsoft, Amazon, and Google program to participate in the strike.

The letter from Microsoft employees was released only days after Microsoft announced partnerships with Chevron and Schlumberger. The letter of the alphabet from Microsoft employees discusses those contracts as well as Microsoft's partnership with Equinor last year.

In this calendar week's company-wide all-hands, our CEO, Satya Nadella, dedicated our contracts with Large Oil past suggesting that our engineering science helps them in their R&D efforts to develop sustainable energy. Yet, this is in articulate contradiction to the ambitions of fossil fuel-CEOs and even other Microsoft leaders.

The alphabetic character calls for action and states that tech companies have the technology and resources required to touch climate change.

If nosotros desire to brand real impact, all of us need to mobilize, work together, and demand a fundamental change in Microsoft'south priorities. It's clear that the tech industry is 1 of the main culprits behind our burning planet, both in consuming a smashing bargain of fossil fuels through power hungry datacenters and supporting Big Oil companies. But we also have to recognize that we're equipped with so many resources that we tin leverage to steer our industry and regime in the right direction.

Microsoft has not released an official response at the time of publication.
