Sierra Club Statement on Trump Adminstration’s COP23 Fossil Fuel Event
BONN, GERMANY-- In just a few minutes at the COP23 climate talks, the Trump Administration will be hosting an event to celebrate coal, fracked gas and nuclear fuels.
In response, John Coequyt, Sierra Club's Global Climate Policy Director,
released the following statement:
“Nothing could encapsulate the extreme tone deafness and isolation of this administration more than an event to celebrate fossil fuels during this important global climate meeting. Trump apparently missed not just the science, but also the point: through the Paris Agreement, the world committed to transitioning off of fossil fuels entirely.”
