New York (CNN Business) Apple CEO Tim Cook says his generation failed on climate change. "We spent too much time debating," Cook told Tulane University graduates during a commencement speech in New Orleans on Saturday. During his 15-minute speech, Cook, 58, called on the students to do better for humanity and to ignore the political noise around the climate change issue in order to make a real difference. "It's about who has won life's lottery and has the luxury of ignoring this issue and who stands to lose everything." Meanwhile, catastrophic natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina , which devastated New Orleans in 2005, are becoming more common.
