League of Women Voters Statement on the Paris Climate Agreement
Washington, DC - The League of Women Voters president,
Chris Carson
issued the following statement in response to President Trump's announcement that the United States will leave the global Paris Climate Agreement:
"Withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement is a giant step in the wrong direction for the health of the planet and all living beings. President Trump's decision today will undermine global cooperation and have a harmful impact on U.S. relations with our most trusted world allies. The long-term effects of this decision will make more people sick, especially children and the elderly. The League of Women Voters is gravely disappointed to see the United States on the wrong side of history in the fight to protect our planet."
