Congressman Fred Upton has released a statement after he attended the White House signing ceremony of a resolution, which he supported, to reverse regulations loosening methane emission standards. Upton’s full statement is below:
“Climate change is real – period – and methane is a major contributor to rising temperatures worldwide. That’s why prominent American energy companies also acknowledge the science and support similar efforts to strengthen emission regulations and reduce carbon pollution in our atmosphere. Like them, I have always believed that we should use technology and our institutional know-how to combat climate change. We can – and must – take commonsense, bipartisan action to reduce emissions, prioritize public health, and protect our environment without imposing burdensome federal mandates in the process. This resolution will help us do just that and I am glad to see these harmful regulations reversed.”
