Rep. Frank Pallone, a seasoned U.S. Congressman representing New Jersey's 6th district, shared his concerns and commitments regarding climate change through a series of tweets on November 17, 2024. Known for his longstanding political career since succeeding James J. Howard in 1988, Pallone emphasized the importance of addressing the climate crisis and maintaining international agreements.
On November 17, 2024, Pallone expressed concern over former President Donald Trump's nomination of an oil and gas CEO who denies the climate crisis. He stated, "Trump promised to do the bidding of Big Oil and Gas executives and, unfortunately, he’s living up to that promise by nominating a CEO who denies the climate crisis. This pick is deeply concerning but not surprising."
Later that day, Pallone tweeted about his participation in the COP29 climate conference. He affirmed the United States' commitment to fighting climate change: "This weekend, I’m at the COP29 climate conference to make it clear to the world that the U.S. is still in the fight. We will not abandon our commitments to combat the worsening climate crisis."
In another tweet posted on November 17, 2024, Pallone highlighted the significance of remaining in the Paris Climate Accord. He warned against potential consequences if Trump were to withdraw from it: "It’s important we stay in the Paris Climate Accord. If Trump pulls out, he will be surrendering America’s role as a global climate leader. This would allow our adversaries and competitors to fill the void we leave behind."
