A former U.S. president provided some strong words regarding climate change this week while speaking at the Paris Institute of Political Studies (Sciences Po).
Jimmy Carter referenced not only the fight against time we’re all in
when it comes to climate-related impacts, but also the fight against
those who are funding climate denial. The 39th president called out the Koch brothers, oil magnates who between 1997 and 2011 donated more than $67 million to organizations with anti-climate agendas.
“The Koch brothers are pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into
every political campaign to support candidates that will support their
position,” Carter said, according to Responding to Climate Change. “The
struggle for the hearts and minds of the general public, especially
young people, is intense and is going on today, sometimes without their
knowledge.” MORE
