Whats a Climate-Conscious Republican to Do?
The leaders at the top of the Republican Party want the U.S. to double down on carbon-intensive oil and gas \u2014 and avoid reckoning with the damage they cause.\xa0 As temperatures continue to rise, a majority of young Republican voters say clinging to that stance could spell trouble for the sustainability of the GOP. \nAnd yet, conservatives aren\u2019t a monolith when it comes to climate. A small wing of the party is warming up to the idea of climate action. The question is: Can those Republicans, who take climate seriously, move the needle on bipartisan climate action?\xa0\nGuests:\xa0\nEmma Dumain, Reporter, E&E News\nHeather Reams, President, Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions\nMariannette Miller-Meeks, U.S. Representative (R-IA 1st District) and Chair of the Conservative Climate Caucus\nDanielle Butcher Franz, CEO, American Conservation Coalition\n\U0001f4de With the presidential election just a few months away, many of us are experiencing increased anxiety and uncertainty.
