Op/Ed: Push partisan politics to the side to create bipartisan solutions to climate change


credit: Run Luau Run

"We are young leaders representing opposing political parties," and now that the midterms are over, it's time for our parties to "come together and put our country's interests first," write two lawmakers from opposite ends of the political spectrum in a op-ed in the Wall Street Journal on climate change.

"Climate instability is worsening, and Americans are facing escalating costs from extreme storms and other climate damages," they write.

"Our generationRepublican which turned out in force in the recent electionwill face the brunt of the impacts, which is why young voters consistently rank climate as a top voting issue."

The authors call for compromise on both sides of the aisle, a "market-based" approach to reducing emissions, and a " pollution import fee" that would charge foreign polluters for their US emissions.

"The reality is that society won't adopt cleaner alternatives at scale because it feels good," they write.

"On the liberal side of the aisle, progressive activists must be willing to decouple climate policy from other progressive policy goals and also be open to market-based solutions, as long as they help to reduce emissions," they write.

"That is the way to bring both parties together around bipartisan and durable solutions."
