"Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Rep. Chellie Pingree (D-Maine) are pressing Google, Facebook and Microsoft over their sponsorship of a conference that featured participation by climate change skeptics.

Ocasio-Cortez and Pingree in a letter to the tech firms' CEOs accused the giants of compromising their records on sustainability with their "implicit support" of the LibertyCon, a conference that took place earlier this month in Washington, D.C.

Mother Jones first reported that the libertarian event included a session titled "Let’s Talk About Not Talking: Should There Be ‘No Debate’ that Industrial Carbon Dioxide is Causing Climate Catastrophe?" The group behind the session, CO2 Coalition, opposes mandatory reductions in CO2 emissions."
