Sierra Club Director Rains On Charlie Baker’s Climate Change Parade

BOSTON — The state's Sierra Club director arguably stole the show during a rally Tuesday at the foot of the Massachusetts State House, which had been organized by a Falmouth lawmaker looking to drum up support for a bill that would enter the state as a non-party stakeholder into the United Nations' 2015 Paris climate change agreement.

State Representative Dylan Fernandes, a Democrat whose district includes Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, and Woods Hole, had plenty of positive words for Republican Governor Charlie Baker, who earlier this month entered Massachusetts into a climate alliance previously reached by other states. Baker's announcement came on the heels of President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw the United States from the 2015 Paris climate accord.
