Keystone XL pipeline
Climate change
  • In 2004, Mitt Romney unveiled the Massachusetts Climate Protection Plan (MCPP). The plan proposed, among other things, reducing greenhouse gas emissions "to 1990 levels by the year 2010" to address climate change.[4]
  • In the MCCP, Romney wrote, "Rather than focusing our energy on the debate over the causes of global warming and the impact of human activity on climate, we have chosen to put our emphasis on actions, not discourse. If climate change is happening, the actions we take will help. If climate change is largely caused by human actions, this will really help. If we learn decades from now that climate change isn’t happening, these actions will still help our economy, our quality of life and the quality of our environment."[4]
