    • Green Party Stein on fracking

    • After traveling to Paris to participate in events related to the United Nations Climate Change Conference, Stein said in a statement on December 11, 2015, “The voluntary, unenforceable pledges being produced by COP21 are entirely insufficient to prevent catastrophic climate change. Scientific analysis shows that these pledges will lead us to 3 degrees Celsius global temperature rise - and that will be catastrophic." She added that the spread of the hydrofracking industry in the U.S. “is leading to a spreading cancer of polluted groundwater and fracked gas pipelines.”[2]
