El senador estadounidense de Oreg\u00f3n, Jeff Merkley, que forma parte del Comit\u00e9 Senatorial de Medio Ambiente y Obras P\u00fablicas y es miembro del Caucus Senatorial de Justicia Ambiental, emiti\u00f3 hoy la siguiente declaraci\u00f3n despu\u00e9s de reunirse virtualmente con Michael Regan, el candidato del presidente electo Biden para servir como Administrador del Agencia de Protecci\u00f3n Ambiental (EPA):<\/p>\n
\n\u201cEl presidente Trump y su administraci\u00f3n se propusieron enterrar y negar la ciencia clim\u00e1tica, destripar a la EPA y hacer retroceder salvaguardias e iniciativas cr\u00edticas para la salud y el medio ambiente, todo para que sus amigos en la industria de los combustibles f\u00f3siles pudieran llenarse los bolsillos. Sin duda, esas acciones irresponsables han puesto vidas en riesgo, y el pueblo estadounidense ya est\u00e1 harto de la voluntad de esta administraci\u00f3n de sacrificar la salud y la seguridad p\u00fablicas en favor de los megacontaminadores.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfortunadamente, el presidente electo Biden comprende que el caos clim\u00e1tico no es un problema lejano que podamos ignorar. Desde incendios forestales que han arrasado ciudades enteras en Oreg\u00f3n hasta un diluvio de tormentas invernales extremas, inundaciones y huracanes en el Medio Oeste, la Costa del Golfo y el Noreste, los estadounidenses ya est\u00e1n pagando el precio de esta crisis. Y hemos visto una y otra vez que las comunidades de color se ven afectadas de manera desproporcionada por los impactos catastr\u00f3ficos de la crisis clim\u00e1tica, lo que empeora a\u00fan m\u00e1s las desigualdades inaceptables existentes en nuestra sociedad.<\/p>\n
\u201cNecesitamos proteger la salud, el bienestar y la seguridad de nuestro pa\u00eds y nuestra econom\u00eda abordando esta emergencia de frente. Eso significa desarrollar planes decisivos para reducir la contaminaci\u00f3n da\u00f1ina que est\u00e1 provocando la crisis, restaurar la salud de nuestros ecosistemas costeros y eliminar la producci\u00f3n de pl\u00e1sticos nocivos. Aprecio la oportunidad de reunirme con el Sr. Regan hoy para discutir estas prioridades y creo que su servicio a la EPA y al pueblo estadounidense bajo m\u00faltiples administraciones, as\u00ed como su experiencia como Secretario del Departamento de Calidad Ambiental de Carolina del Norte, lo han preparado. ser un l\u00edder fuerte a medida que nos alejamos de los combustibles f\u00f3siles. Espero seguir trabajando con \u00e9l durante todo su proceso de confirmaci\u00f3n\u201d. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
