Rovaniemi, FINLAND -- Speaking at the kick off of the 11th Ministerial Meeting of the Arctic Council Monday afternoon, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo touted efforts by the United States to reduce environmental damage through free markets and technology. 

"The facts already speak for themselves: America is the world’s leader in caring for the environment. Our energy-related CO2 emissions fell by 14% between 2005 and 2017, while the rest of the world’s rose by more than 20 percent. Our black carbon emissions are down 16% since 2013 and on track to drop by nearly half by 2025, the best of any Arctic country. It isn’t clear that Russia, meanwhile, is reducing emissions at all, despite being the largest emitter of black carbon in the Arctic," Pompeo said to a room full of diplomats, officials and reporters. "We’re achieving our reductions the American way: through scientific and technological innovation that enhances our energy security and our economic growth, rather than stifling development through burdensome regulations."  

"President Trump is committed to leveraging resources in environmentally responsible ways. He knows this white expanse can also be green," he continued. "Our Administration helped our fellow Arctic states seal the Central Arctic Fisheries Agreement. It was one of the first times in history that a region banded together to preemptively solve a threat to its resources.":snip:
