72 Why the Climate Crisis is a Concern for Conservatives
Episode description
There are plenty of good reasons for political conservatives to be concerned about the climate crisis. We explore them in this conversation with three gentlemen from the Citizens’ Climate Lobby, or CCL:
- Steven Moses, a physicist
- Don Parcher, a retired Navy pilot
- Nate Hochman, a Colorado College senior and Conservative Outreach Fellow at CCL
Citizens' Climate Lobby (CCL) is a nonpartisan group that's focused on a carbon fee and dividend, which would put a price on carbon at the source, and the proceeds of the carbon fee would be distributed back to households in the form of a dividend. This proposal has garnered a lot of attention recently, and was introduced in Congress as the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act (https://energyinnovationact.org/).
