Conservative Climate Caucus
What We Believe
The climate is changing, and decades of a global industrial era that has brought prosperity to the world has also contributed to that change. Private sector innovation, American resources, and R&D investment have resulted in lower emissions and affordable energy, placing the United States as the global leader in reducing emissions Climate change is a global issue and China is the greatest immediate obstacle to reducing world emissions. Solutions should reduce global emissions and not just be “feel good” policies Practical and exportable answers can be found in innovation embraced by the free market. Americans and the rest of the world want access to cheaper, reliable, and cleaner energy With innovative technologies, fossil fuels can and should be a major part of the global solution Reducing emissions is the goal, not reducing energy choices
