Bill McKibben Responds to Gov. Brown's New Greenhouse Gas Targets

WASHINGTON

In response to new greenhouse gas emissions targets announced by California Governor Jerry Brown, 350.org Co-Founder Bill McKibben issued the following statement:

"There's no gainsaying the fact that Jerry Brown is on a path to make California the greenest state in the union. There's also no getting around the fact that the oil pouring out of California's fracking wells destabilizes the planet's climate no matter where it's burned. Once the governor pays as much attention to production as to consumption, it'll be clear there's no more environmentally aware politician on the planet."

350 is building a future that's just, prosperous, equitable and safe from the effects of the climate crisis. We're an international movement of ordinary people working to end the age of fossil fuels and build a world of community-led renewable energy for all.
