FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PR- 421-12 November 14, 2012 STATEMENT OF MAYOR MICHAEL R. BLOOMBERG ON PRESIDENT OBAMA'S REMARKS TODAY ON CLIMATE CHANGE “Today President Obama spoke about how he will be bringing scientists, engineers and elected officials together to find bi-partisan ways to reduce carbon emissions – and I look forward to supporting that new effort in any way I can. The president has taken some important steps to fight climate change over the past four years, including doubling fuel efficiency standards on cars and trucks. But, as he said today, it is not enough. And whether or not Hurricane Sandy resulted from climate change, there is no doubt that the threat of increasingly intense storms should spur Washington to make the issue a top priority.” MEDIA CONTACT: Marc La Vorgna (212) 788-2958 STAY CONNECTED Twitter YouTube Flickr |
