“In a month where we’ve seen new heat records, raging wildfires, and now the worst hurricane ever recorded, it is unconscionable that Attorney General Paxton is fighting this life-saving measure to combat dangerous global warming,” said Luke Metzger, Director of Environment Texas. “Polls show Texans support action on climate, as do many businesses across the state, but instead of representing the people, General Paxton is carrying water for big polluters. Texas needs to stop the dangerous obstructionism and get to work reducing pollution and moving Texas to a cleaner, healthier future.”
Environment Texas pointed to a University of Texas poll out this week showing 69 percent of Texas believe global warming is occurring. Other polls show Texans support regulations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
