A small but growing number of Republican lawmakers are urging action on climate change, driven by shifting sentiment among GOP voters and the effects of global warming, from stronger hurricanes to more-destructive wildfires.
The group backs policies rooted in what they consider GOP principles, favoring market-based solutions rather than government regulations. Many are loyal supporters of President Trump, but they part with him on climate change, which he has dismissed as hyped.
Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida says the GOP needs to advance sound conservative proposals to combat climate change and embrace science, or risk long-term political damage.
How can we as a party stand up to the generational challenges we face with globalization and automation and climate change if we dont look credible to the body politic, Mr. Gaetz said in an interview.
In April, Mr. Gaetz announced his Green Real Deal plan that seeks to cut greenhouse-gas emissions by fostering innovation and entrepreneurship and reducing government regulations on the development of clean-energy technology. His plan is a counter to the Green New Deal proposed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) and others that involves large federal investments in buildings, industries and transportation systems to slash emissions.

YES!!
In which case I would run to a church and NOT a climate change expert!! :)
So, does he know for a fact that MAN is the cause? If he has proof, let's see it.
Stronger than what? Does he have the statistics for EVERY hurricane that has EVER formed on the planet?
"to more-destructive wildfires"
"Destructive" is a relative term, and the fact that there's more stuff around to be destroyed than there used to be.
If the seas were really rising...do you think the Hollywood Elite would keep moving into Malibu?
No one asks these questions?
DON’T EVER let the other side frame the discourse. DON’T EVER let the other side make you appear defensive.
Establishment self identifying. They are also the ones backing the open border.
1. What results are expected and when.
2. What constitutes success.
3. Who decides what projects are conducted and their costs.
4. When is the end date.
5. How are results replicated via the scientific method as proofs.
6. Who controls the $$$$$$, where, and how is it distributed.
These are what I want to know for something called ‘climate change’ before I consider it valid.
Yes, good points.
The chance of (many more) things being damaged, has gone up dramatically over the decades.
[[ A small but growing number of Republican lawmakers are urging action on climate change,]]
They smell trillions in the people’s stolen money going into gov pockets- that’s why!
[[I have seen no evidence of more powerful hurricanes or any other unusually weather phenomenon.]]
Joe Bastardi former weather channel dude who doesn’t believe in man caused climate change has proven that storms are NOT getting worse- but the sad thing is that even if someone were to send these ‘republican’ senators the facts- they would just ignore it and keep repeating the same lie over and over that storms are getting worse-
WSJ’s AC Flores cites one Republican US Congressional legislator who supports government climate control and their editor decides it’s news and has Flores report it as if there are many.
Kosh brothers “spoke” the Renos listen
Yeah, and there is probably some SOROS money at work here too....the Congress has its price......
Is it climate change or global warming?
Stronger hurricanes and more destructive wildfires?
Not a shred of evidence that either one is occurring or that either can be linked to climate change or global warming. F'NNG idiots.
These pricks care about being with the in crowd and optics rather than the truth. How pathetic is the GOP?
These people are so freaking stupid! How in the heck can you fight natural climate changes with money??? Thats the only solution the elites propose. Gimme gimme gimme more of your money.
Liars. All. Of. Them.
Its more likely the Kosh brothers ran the Republican party. Soros the Democrat party. Both hateful people.
And here is a graph showing the large fluctuations which have taken place over the last 110,000 years. So the recent rise in temps is not unique.
They want to get in on the shake down scam. “You have a nice business here it would be a shame if global warming would happen.” “If you donate to my campaign I’ll make an exception to cap a trade for your company”
Matt needs to read Roy Spencer and Chris Horner and stop listening to globalists.
Actually it is not quite that simple. A tipping point has occurred. Not a fake one that leftist always scream about. We have caused in a way, what is to come. The return of the ice age. And that will be the penalty the atheists will endure. Fine. There is no God according to them. Then survive what you have done to this planet without gods help. Have fun.
