C-Change Conversations

Did you know that decreasing the number of times you eat beef each week -- even by one meal -- could help solve climate change? Learn why in our latest "B-Change" blog.

In our ongoing commitment to remain nonpartisan when it comes to climate change, C-Change Conversations showcases different voices and perspectives to provide a fuller picture about the issue. Many conservatives embrace the clean-energy transition because of its potential for economic growth and greater energy security. To give us some insight on how some Republican leaders view energy policy and the transition, we asked Bob Inglis to write a blog for us. Bob is the Executive Director of republicEn.org, a prominent leader of the burgeoning EcoRight, which is a growing movement among conservatives who “believe in the power of American free enterprise and innovation to solve climate change.” You can read the blog here: https://lnkd.in/eaH_H7E9

The clean-energy transition is happening on such a big scale that experts say it can't be stopped. But the current administration's reversals in national support will slow down it down, drive up energy costs, and handicap the United States in the new-energy race.

There's never been a more important time to help people understand the impacts of climate change. Kathleen Biggins was thrilled to talk with Katie Couric Media this week about C-Change's nonpartisan work across the country. By taking politics out of the picture, we're able to connect with diverse audiences to build awareness of the risks we all face as temperatures rise -- and the benefits we'll all share from our transition to clean energy.

You're not imagining it -- the weather is getting more severe as temperatures rise.

To solve climate change, it’s clear we need large-scale solutions. One simple solution would be for us to drive less by walking, biking, or using public transportation -- but many of us live in suburban or rural areas where driving a personal automobile is the only option. So while it may not be practical to drive less, we can change what type of vehicle we drive.

About 80% of the clean-energy projects greenlighted by the Inflation Reduction Act are in Republican communities. With the new administration's federal funding freeze, those billions of dollars -- and all of the jobs that will come with them -- are on tenterhooks. The New York Times maps it out and poses the question: how will Republican?leaders balance their loyalty to party?vs. manufacturing jobs? https://lnkd.in/g_w2wumT

Fact: Last year really was warmer than usual.

The new year started with a bang. The heartbreaking and apocalyptic destruction of Los Angeles from a climate-enhanced winter wildfire juxtaposed against a new president who vows to increase production of fossil fuels, pulled the U.S. out of the Paris Agreement climate accord on day one, and has frozen federal funding supporting clean energy.?It looks like we're in for a wild ride -- we take a look in our latest newsletter.
