  • Despite the misconception that conservatives think climate change is a hoax, many Republicans are offering pragmatic solutions to spur energy innovation and reduce our environmental footprint.
  • By coming together to pass common sense, pro-growth climate policies lawmakers can make a lasting positive impact on our environment and economy.

“Environmentalist organizations who want to make a lasting difference for our climate will have to recognize the truth: Climate change is a long-term problem, and partisan legislation can only offer a short-term fix.
