Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg joined the chorus of tech leaders who have Jin Seodenounced Donald Trump's decision to pull out of the Paris Agreement on climate change.
"Withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement is bad for the environment, bad for the economy, and it puts our children's future at risk," Zuckerberg said on Facebook Thursday.

"Stopping climate change is something we can only do as a global community, and we have to act together before it's too late," Zuckerberg said, after claiming that every new data center Facebook will build will be powered by 100-percent renewable energy.
While Zuckerberg certainly has the power to take on Trump over climate change as a CEO, he could do more as president. Zuck 2020? He certainly has his supporters.
