Washington, DC -- Today, the White House quickly walked back reports that Donald Trump will not pull the United States out of the Paris Climate Agreement. Following his original decision to withdraw from the Accord in June, Trump was universally condemned by the people he was elected to represent and the world writ large.
In response, Sierra Club Global Climate Policy Director John Coequyt released the following statement:
"For anyone who had any hope that two historically devastating storms striking our nation would wake up the Trump Administration to the reality of the climate crisis, think again."
