I think we're taking a snapshot view of climate change and trying to implement policy based on that snapshot.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am convinced that policies meant to reduce alleged carbon dioxide-induced global warming will be destructive.
It should simply be an empirical matter whether the climate is changing or not and whether we're responsible. But the various sides of the debate have now become so tribal that it's no longer a matter of changing our views as more information comes in.
If we're concerned about climate change as a country, we should have policies that make sure our great-grandchildren have a planet that's healthy and strong.
At some point, policymakers will get around to dealing with additional policies around climate in ways to incentivize certain behaviors.
The effects of climate change are real and must be acted on.
I believe we should reframe our response to climate change as an imperative for growth rather than merely being a way of being green or meeting environmental commitments.
We have shared responsibility for global climate; we have to reduce climate change below 2 degrees Celsius.
The idea that we have the capacity to change or stop the climate, I'm just skeptical.
The bottom line is clear: Climate change is a reality, and it is having a real impact.
We have to face the reality of climate change. It is arguably the biggest threat we are facing today.
