Bill Weld in CPAC 2016-2019


On Energy & Oil: Climate change is real, must be addressed

Q: What about the Paris climate agreement?

A: I think we should rejoin the Paris climate accords and adopt percentages that are consonant with our responsibility. On the issue of climate, there is a divide between the developed nations and lesser- develop, because we've got ours." Again, that's an unattractive point of view.

Q: And the Green New Deal?

A:I've got to study that more than I have. It sounds pretty expensive, and I think some of what's coming out of the left hand of the Democratic Party is probably more than I could sit still for. But I do think that, at bottom, Europe has its monuments and its cathedrals, and we've got our mountains and our valleys and our rivers and our streams, and we better damn well take care of them.
