Mayor de Blasio called on New Yorkers Monday to cut down on greenhouse-gas emissions — but still won’t stop taking his planet-poisoning trips to the Prospect Park YMCA.
De Blasio co-penned an op-ed with London Mayor Sadiq Khan, urging cities to stop their retirement plans from investing in fossil-fuel companies.
“We are not only committed to taking bold action to tackle climate change . . . but also to showing others the way,” they wrote in a piece published by The Guardian.
New York’s proposed move would remove $5 billion from more than 190 companies.
But the call renewed attention on the mayor’s refusal to wholeheartedly endorse congestion pricing and his own 12-mile treks from Gracie Mansion to the gym.
“I don’t even know where to begin,” said Charles Komanoff, a veteran environmental activist.
