Talking to Conservatives about Climate Change

Description

Even in a summer of record-breaking heat and disasters, Republican Presidential candidates have ignored or mocked climate change. But some conservative legislators in Congress recognize that action is necessary. David Remnick talks with a leader of the Conservative Climate Caucus about her party’s stance on climate change, her belief that fossil fuels cannot be rapidly phased out, and the problems she sees with the Inflation Reduction Act. Then, the authoritative climate reporter Elizabeth Kolbert talks with Ben Jealous, who was recently named executive director of the Sierra Club, about his strategy for building support in Republican-led states.

Miller-Meeks is incapable of dodging her own partisan rhetoric. Her reply when Remnick asked her to explain what she means by "common sense solutions": "Well, it's hard to get a consensus on what that means." 🤣😂
