| 释义 |
The Forward on Climate rally was held at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. on February 17, 2013.[1] The goal of the demonstration was to spur President Barack Obama and Congress to take more action to address global warming. Opposition to the proposed expansion of the Keystone XL Pipeline, that was still pending at the time, was a particular focus of the rally. Among the speakers were Sierra Club Director Michael Brune, U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, actress and activist Rosario Dawson, 350.org founder Bill McKibben,[2] and Obama's former Special Advisor for Green Jobs Van Jones.[3] Participants marched from the National Mall to the White House. Attendance was estimated at 35,000 (estimates ranged from 10,000 by a police officer[2] to 50,000 by 350.org[4][5]), and was thought to have been the largest climate rally in American history.[6][7] The rally was arranged by the Sierra Club, the Hip Hop Caucus, 350.org,[8] and other organizations.[9] ReceptionPatrick Michaels of the Cato Institute said that if the Keystone XL pipeline were constructed, people would be employed to maintain it. He dismissed fears over the project, saying {{quote|It reminds me of the TransCanada pipeline that was supposed to cause all these problems and wreak all this havoc. It never did. All it did was supply oil.}}He praised hydrofracturing for making a greater supply of natural gas available, and urged less governmental involvement in the energy sector.[8] In his State of the Union address the following week, President Obama said[8][10][11]{{quote|We can choose to believe that Superstorm Sandy, and the most severe drought in decades, and the worst wildfires some states have ever seen were all just a freak coincidence. Or we can choose to believe in the overwhelming judgment of science—and act before it's too late.}} The utterance was mentioned in several news stories about the rally. External links
