What to Know: Democratic presidential candidate Jay Inslee says that a drastic climate change agenda is a “winning campaign issue.”
“I’ve heard it my whole career, from pundits, special interests and even political consultants: Just shut up about climate change if you want to be elected,” the Washington governor writes in the New York Times.
The TPPF Take: When Americans learn more about climate change policies—and costs—their support drops precipitously.
“For example, the city of San Antonio says there’s widespread public support for its proposed Climate Action and Adaptation Plan,” says TPPF’s Katie Tahuahua. “But when we polled San Antonio residents about what they would be willing to pay for such a plan, nearly half said ‘nothing.’ The better approach is to allow Americans more freedom to innovate—and to prosper.”
