Am currently a member of the Savannah Chapter of Citizens Climate Lobby (CCL).
Climate Change should be a bipartisan issue. Our group met with our Representative – Congressman Buddy Carter – in September 2019. He does not deny climate change and he does think that Man’s actions contribute to the issues with our environment. Our disagreement is how to mitigate the issue.
CCL (and me) think that congress needs to pass the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act.
Highlights of this bill:
- Effective
This policy will reduce America’s emissions by at least 40% in the first 12 years. - Good for People
This policy will improve health and save lives. Additionally, the carbon dividend puts money directly into people’s pockets every month to spend as they see fit, helping low and middle income Americans. - Good for the economy
This policy will create 2.1 million new jobs, thanks to economic growth in local communities across America. - Bipartisan
Republicans and Democrats are both on board, cosponsoring this bill together. The majority of Americans support Congress taking action on climate change, including more than half of Republicans. Solving climate change is too urgent to get caught up in partisan politics.
