To The Daily Sun,
In her letter to the editor of Jan. 20, Molly Sanborn wrote that “Gov. Sununu is a leader in combating climate change.”
But let’s take a look at his record. He supports Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord and refused to join other states in forming the Climate Change Alliance. Last year he vetoed bills, passed with strong bipartisan support, to control greenhouse gases (HB582), reduce vehicle emissions (SB275), net metering (HB-365), protect wetlands (HB326), a proposal to study microgrids (HB183), uphold biomass energy (HB183), and support renewable clean energy (SB72, SB167, and SB168). He chose an education commissioner who favors curtailing public school education on climate issues. Not only this, Gov. Sununu has publicly disputed the scientific consensus that human-caused carbon emissions are the leading cause of rising global temperatures. Based on this record, our governor is indeed a leader — a leader in obstructing responsible climate mitigation.
