Sen. Elizabeth Warren urged Americans not to get distracted by climate arguments over plastic straws and lightbulbs, saying Wednesday that just one group benefits from such outrage campaigns: the fossil fuel industry.

The fossil fuel industry wants to keep us arguing about light bulbs and cheeseburgers while 70% of pollution comes from just three industries. We need to focus on creating big, structural change to tackle this climate crisis and the Washington corruption head-on. #ClimateTownHall pic.twitter.com/HwdYmcE6T0The question came after the Trump administration announced Wednesday that it would weaken federal rules that mandate Americans use more energy-efficient lightbulbs.

The change in lightbulb efficiency standards is the latest move by President Donald Trump to roll back a slate of sweeping federal rules meant to rein in carbon emissions and tackle climate change. Last week, the White House said it would cut back regulations that limit methane emissions.
