I find it funny that this climate strike is happening the same day as the Area 51 raid, wonder if its some sort of diversion

Easily fixed: declare those days company holidays (it's a Friday anyways, when productivity tends to drop about 33%)

Might be a dumb question but Google is supposed to have a carbon neutral footprint no?

Yes: 100% renewable energy consumption, and carbon neutral since 2007

(No connection to Google, I just remembered looking this up once before)

Bad look for Apple here

Is it though? Even the article itself goes to some length (almost half the article) to explain how Apple's already launching numerous envronmentally-friendly initiatives, and there's the free "iPhone 11 coming out on Sept. 20" plug from Vice.

Worded slightly differently, this article could have been an Apple press release.

Number of people who strike will be larger than the number of customers who care

Sad but true... May receive a tiny bit of media attention but I don't expect anything to come out of it.
