Issue Position: Combating Global Warming

Issue Position

Our planet is at stake, now more than ever, with the climate-change-denier-in-chief in the White House. Withdrawal from the Paris Agreement was a historic mistake. Normally, Texas weather is either hot or hotter. Increasingly, we just have hotter. By the turn of the century, Texas can expect about 100 days that reach100 degrees or more annually--what a world we are bequeathing to our children and grandchildren. Action now could make their world so much more livable. If we want to change the climate, we need to change the political climate.

A warming planet will overwhelm our Gulf Coast, expand the Sonoran desert into much of Texas, and hasten the spread of disease. We need an agenda governed by sound science. Renewable energy will drive not just a greener planet, but also a greener economy.
