6 Jan: Park Record, Utah: Editorial: On climate change, Mitt Romney has an opportunity to lead
Despite the former GOP presidential nominee’s ties to the Park City area, voters here instead backed his Democratic opponent, Jenny Wilson, in November. But on at least one important topic, Romney’s views broadly align with those of Summit County residents and we’ll be looking to him for leadership.
In contrast to many in his party, Romney is a firm believer in climate change. Separating him further from a significant number of his GOP colleagues, he also believes that humans are contributing to it. During last year’s campaign, he spoke repeatedly about the importance of combating climate change and the danger of failing to do so — including the potential for wildfires in the West to become even more severe and frequent in coming decades...
Already, Romney has shown he is unafraid to ruffle feathers on Capitol Hill. He spent the days before he took the oath of office Thursday in the national spotlight for authoring an opinion piece in the Washington Post taking President Trump to task for failing to rise “to the mantle of the office.”...
He’ll need to take that aggressive tone one step further on climate change and demand action. That would mean finding common ground with Democrats on climate legislation and, given the current state of the GOP, being one of the few from his party willing to do so...
