Following Gov. Jerry Brown’s remarks at the U.N. Climate Summit, Bill McKibben and Californians Against Fracking, issued statements on California’s climate action. In his remarks today, Gov. Brown noted that carbon emissions are casting a “dark shadow” on the state. While California is making progress in addressing climate change, its efforts are stymied by continued fracking in the state, which only serves to pollute our air, water and communities.

Last week, Food & Water Watch, issued a comprehensive review of the science behind fracking’s impacts.
