We need Republicans to get serious about climate change.
Earlier this month as Republicans organized for the coming mid-term election, which they hope will give them control of the House, they announced a climate plan. No doubt its purpose is to appeal to young Republicans and independents who are more concerned about climate change and want governments to act.
Basically, the plan calls for increasing the production and promoting the use of oil and gas, the very fuels that are over-heating our planet, disrupting our climate, and causing widespread human suffering. Climate activist, Bill McKibben, compares it to announcing a health plan that “involves mailing every American a carton of cigarettes and a Wendy’s coupon.”
