Hickenlooper Statement on Supreme Court Curtailing Climate Action

Statement

U.S. Senator John Hickenlooper released the following statement on the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in West Virginia v. EPA, which curtails the government's ability to fight climate change:

"The Court is harming America once again by playing politics instead of following science and the law. Climate change is the crisis of our lifetime and Colorado is on the frontlines. Congress must act to correct this flawed decision -- lives are at stake."

Hickenlooper is a member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. He spearheaded first-in-the-nation limits on methane pollution as Governor and has pushed the EPA to use Colorado's success as a national model.
