STATEMENT FROM THE CLIMATE REALITY PROJECT PRESIDENT & CEO KEN BERLIN ON PRESIDENT OBAMA’S REJECTION OF THE KEYSTONE XL PIPELINE

(Washington, DC – 11/6/15) “President Obama and his administration has made an important and precedent-setting decision today to reject the Keystone XL pipeline in part to project the United States’ leadership in combatting global climate change. This puts the United States on sturdy ground for the upcoming U.N. climate negotiations in Paris, where leaders from all countries must stand together and commit to strong emissions reductions. We applaud the President for his bold decision to put us on a path to a future that is both prosperous and sustainable.”
