This week, Apple joined the ranks of Nike and Exelon when it dropped out of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce due to the Chamber’s opposition of regulating greenhouse gas emissions.

Apple’s resignation from the Chamber, the world’s largest business federation which represents more than three million businesses, is effective immediately, according to the New York Times.

One user who follows Apple news, rumors and insights announced Apple’s resignation to the Twitter world with a few tweets:
