For Immediate Release Contact: David Willett, 202-675-6698 San Francisco, CA: A new ad from Senate Candidate Carly Fiorina criticizes Senator Boxer for her work to address Climate Change and National Security. The following is a statement in response from Carl Pope, Chairman of Sierra Club "Senator Boxer's work to solve climate change is all about improving the ways we make and use energy. We need to move away from polluting sources of energy like oil which entangle us in war and led to the BP disaster in the Gulf. It's shocking that Carly Fiorina thinks that tackling climate change by reducing our oil dependence wouldn't affect our national security." Fiorina presents some contradictions on her position: "Senator Boxer understands that meeting the challenge of global warming means addressing many issues at once--and it doesn't mean worrying about the weather. Senator Boxer has led the way on the links between our changing climate, clean energy, jobs and security for years." ###
