Talk is Cheap; Actions Speak Louder than Words, So Let’s Get Busy
WASHINGTON (October 22, 2012) – Following is a statement by Frances Beinecke, president of the NRDC Action Fund, after the final presidential debate tonight in Florida:
“Climate change deserved a proper airing during the debates. At the end of the day, though, actions speak louder than words. And there’s no doubt which candidate will take strong, decisive actions to combat this urgent, global problem. He already has. And that’s President Obama.”
