Kevin McCarthy's Public Statements on Issue: Environment

Date Title
07/29/2022 Tweet - "There's no excuse for wasting time on bills that just pay lip service to wildfires and our Giant Sequoia groves. Fires and droughts are not partisan things--they affect everyone. The American people, especially those in the West, deserve more."
07/10/2022 Tweet - "The fire currently burning through Yosemite National Park and threatening our Giant Sequoias is evidence of the urgent need for my bill, the Save Our Sequoias Act. These ancient wonders need Congressional action now."
07/08/2022 Tweet - "As a conservative, I believe in preserving our natural heritage. Giant sequoias only grow in America, but they're endangered by wildfires from decades of poor forest management. We need common sense solutions to protect these wonders for future generations to enjoy."
07/03/2022 Tweet - "Giant Sequoias, which are native to my district, are in crisis. The bipartisan 𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗼𝗶𝗮𝘀 𝗔𝗰𝘁 is commonsense legislation to reform forest management practices to reduce the risk of catastrophic fires in Giant Sequoia groves."
07/19/2021 Tweet - "Our country has learned the hard way that Dem policies make life more difficult: Open borders = security crisis Lockdowns = kids out of school Defunding police = spike in violent crime Paying people to not work = labor shortages Radical environmental policy = energy shortages"
04/22/2021 Tweet - "This #EarthDay, Democrats are touting job-killing, socialist policies that will ruin our economy and the livelihoods of millions. Republicans have commonsense policies that will reduce global emissions, but not kill our economy. (special character)"
04/20/2021 Tweet - "Today, Democrats plan to reintroduce the Green New Deal. Their plan would destroy our economy--plain and simple. Socialism isn't the answer to climate change--Republicans have a plan to tackle emissions without upending our way of life (special character)"
04/19/2021 Tweet - "Democrats say Republicans aren't serious about climate change. That is simply not true. Republican solutions will make American energy cleaner, more affordable, and more accessible to reduce emissions around the world."
02/04/2021 Tweet - ""It's the only choice for somebody like me," says Biden's Climate Czar about flying around the world in a private jet. Meanwhile--with the stroke of a pen--President Biden eliminated "the only choice" that thousands of Americans had for a job."
10/13/2020 Tweet - "Thank you @realdonaldtrump for taking action to protect our environment and promote healthy reforestation. This, with @HouseGOP's #TrillionTreesAct, will strengthen America's commitment to conservation and reforestation efforts that are critical to protecting our forests."
09/29/2020 Tweet - "FACTS: the USA has (Special Character) Reduced CO2 emissions more than any nation recently. (Special Character) Increased oil production, keeping gas prices affordable at home. (Special Character) Grown the number of good American jobs in the energy sector by the hundreds of thousands."
08/28/2020 Tweet - "We all want a cleaner, safer, healthier environment--but job-killing regulation isn't the way. When 1 #TrillionTrees are planted around this earth, it'll remove the equivalent of 2/3rds of all man-made carbon since the Industrial Revolution. (Special character) Excited to be part of this mission."
03/10/2020 Tweet - "All Americans want a cleaner environment. Planting one trillion trees would remove roughly two thirds of all man-made carbon produced since the industrial revolution. Let's rise to that challenge. #TrillionTreesAct"
11/24/2019 Tweet - "Californians--I recently introduced the Water Optimization for the West Act to help ensure our communities get the water we contract and pay for while protecting our environment."
09/18/2019 Tweet - "Trump & the EPA have been quietly taking steps to undermine our nation's clean water. Clean water is a fundamental human need & Americans rely on rivers & streams to supply clean drinking water to their families. We must #ProtectOurWater."
05/02/2019 Tweet - "The #ParisAgreement would decrease average household income by $7,000. President Trump is right to put #AmericaFirst and STILL lead the world in reducing greenhouse gas emissions."
