O'Rourke in North Carolina

O’Rourke, who declared his candidacy for president in March, said that humans have just ten years to confront climate change before it is too late and need to act accordingly.

In front of hundreds of onlookers in a nearly full FPG Student Union, O’Rourke called for increasing investment in renewable energy, “freeing ourselves from fossil fuels” and taking more responsibility to get other nations to fight climate change, among other things.
