Labor believes in sustainability. We believe in acting on climate change, not just talking about it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There are jobs to be created on both sides of the climate argument. Whether we are investing in oil or sun, coal or wind, gas or algae, the economy will be stimulated by the investment. The economy, unlike each of us, is not swayed by ideology.
Even those who don't believe in climate change believe we should develop renewable energy. Americans get it: it's time. This is not controversial. It's actually right in the wheelhouse of American business.
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.
I really believe in the environmental movement right now - it only takes a little effort to make a big difference.
It's hardly surprising that the corporate aliens lie when it comes to the relationship between doing something about climate change and the economy.
I have long understood that climate change is not only an environmental issue - it is a humanitarian, economic, health, and justice issue as well.
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.
While some politicians argue over whether to believe scientists' almost overwhelming consensus on climate change, the business sector is a believer and is wisely planning ahead.
I've always been concerned about global warming. It seemed to me like working in nuclear power was a logical way to do something to help the environment.
I absolutely do not believe in the science of man-caused climate change.
