Thirteen of America's most powerful companies have joined in on the launching of the American Business Act on Climate Pledge - including Microsoft, Apple, Google, Coca-Cola and Bank of America.

These companies pledged $140 billion as part of the Obama administration's effort to include private companies in the fight against climate change.

The Climate Action Plan plans to cut almost six billion tons of carbon emissions through 2030. This plan is said to be so massive that it compares to removing all cars on the U.S. roads for more than four years, Slash Gear reports.

Other private companies that complete the 13 current supporters of the act include Walmart, Pepsi, Alcoa, Berkshire Hathaway Energy, Cargill, General Motors, Goldman Sachs and UPS, according to an official statement on the White House website.

"Reaching a strong deal in Paris is an absolute and urgent necessity. The data is clear and the science is beyond dispute: a warming planet poses enormous threats to society," Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt said in a statement to NBC News. He adds that the company has been "carbon neutral" since 2007 and has been committed to funding and granting more than $2 billion for projects that promote clean energy.
