DEP's Abruzzo Responds On Climate Change

After his confirmation hearing Wednesday, Acting DEP Secretary Chris Abruzzo wrote to Sen. Daylin Leach (D-Montgomery) challenging Leach's assertion in a press release that Abruzzo does not believe in climate change saying, “I never made these statements, and they do not reflect my beliefs nor those of DEP or the Administration.  To the contrary, I acknowledged that climate change is real, is affected by humans, and that I believe the people of Pennsylvania are doing their share to address what is, by definition, a global issue requiring a global response.” Click Here to read a copy of Abruzzo's letter.
