On Wednesday April 15th MASSPIRG students at UMass Dartmouth and Bristol CC held a panel on Global Warming Solutions to showcase the climate champions in South Eastern Massachusetts.
After the exciting discussion about global warming and clean energy, Congressman Barney Frank told the students:
“I am grateful to the MASSPIRG students at UMASS Dartmouth and Bristol Community College for the energy they are putting into this important issue. If other student groups throughout the country show this same dedication, I am confident that we will get the support that we need in congress to pass a strong climate control bill.” – Congressman Barney Frank
The
panelists included U.S. Congressman Barney Frank (co-sponsor of the
American Renewable
Energy Act), State Senator Marc Pacheco (sponsor of last year's Global
Warming
Solutions Act, one of the strongest state global warming laws in the
country, and chair of the state senate's Committee on Climate Change
and Global Warming), a representative from New Bedford Mayor Scott
Lang's office, and Woods Hole oceanographer
and marine archeologist Dr. Robert Ballard (who is best
known for his discoveries of the Titanic and Battleship Bismarck).
