Rick Parnell, CEO of the Foundation for Climate Restoration, Issues Statement on Denmark's Landmark Commitment to Reduce Emissions

WASHINGTON, June 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --

"The Foundation for Climate Restoration applauds Denmark's bold commitment to ensuring a habitable planet for future generations. Their recent climate agreement lays out a detailed plan to cut carbon emissions by 70% over the coming decade. They are undertaking the comprehensive approach we at the Foundation have long advocated for: CO₂ emission reduction coupled with climate restoration technologies, like carbon capture and natural solutions. The trillion tons of excess CO₂ in our atmosphere is the main driver of climate change and makes up 95% of our climate crisis. Thus, no approach is adequate without climate restoration. Denmark ? and the activists who made this climate agreement a reality ? is a model for the progressive and dramatic action we must undertake to safeguard the health of our planet."
