  • "Climate change is real, and we cannot afford our next actions to save our planet to be politically motivated," he said. "Just like women's health care, the Supreme Court is once again putting politics above people when it comes to this ruling. I'd like to thank the local leaders and concerned citizens for the continued advocacy and action as we see our rights being taken away." (en)
