I led the fight against climate change a decade before most addressed it. My plan recognizes that the burden of climate change isn’t distributed evenly and that transitioning to a clean energy economy is step one to renewing the American Dream. https://t.co/IqzND2MQwa

Solving the climate crisis is a matter of human survival, as well as a moral imperative — we must take immediate action to head off catastrophic damage to our planet’s climate.

Playing on the cliché on what he’d do on day one of his presidency, Patrick joked with League of Conservation Voters State Director Rob Werner that much of his first day would go toward finding the best route through the White House to his office, but re-entering the Paris Climate Accords would be another immediate … Continue reading "https://www.unionleader.com/news/politics/voters/patrick-leans-on-mass-governing-experience-in-presidential-bid/article_54fb8d74-5c25-545a-993b-d54c6df224e2.html"
