Pope's Apostasy: Sierra Club Chief Disses Climate Bill This Year

Environmental Capital - WSJ.com : Pope's Apostasy: Sierra Club Chief Disses Climate Bill This Year

So where does one of the nation’s most influential environmental groups – the Sierra Club - stand on this question? “Our top priority is not to pass a bill this year. Our priority is to lay the framework for a good bill next year,” says Sierra Club Executive Director Carl Pope. In an interview with Environmental Capital, Mr. Pope says his group wants “as close as we can get to” a 100% reduction; the leading proposal in Congress to cap greenhouse gases currently calls for closer to a 70% reduction.
