I’m joyful to see firsthand at local weather conferences and on Zoom calls that younger conservatives need local weather change options. They’re keen to seek out applicable and significant motion.
Seeing younger folks on each side of the aisle agreeing on wanted motion is heartwarming. Nevertheless, actual bipartisan options are nonetheless eluding us. I hear younger conservatives tout Rep. John Curtis as one of many conservative champion voices. Sadly, his motion is generally in voice solely. The League of Conservation Voters charges him with a 7% lifetime rating and a 16% 2022 rating. This doesn’t seem to be the local weather champion that I might put in my nook.
To be truthful, these with lifetime scores within the excessive 90s additionally don’t have a lot bipartisan laws changing into payments. I dream of the day each side of the aisle can line up collectively and achieve essential local weather laws. You'll assume the horrible air high quality as a result of Canadian wildfires, mixed with the intense temperatures this 12 months, would improve that risk.
