Tackling climate change is a bipartisan issue
Kudos to letter-writer Karen Wiles (“Climate change too important to let partisan politics get in the way,” Feb. 29) for calling attention to the bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus started by Representatives Carlos Curbelo, R-Florida, and Ted Deutch, D-Florida.
In our divided nation, it’s critical for citizens to support legislators who have the courage to reach across the aisle to work together for our common good.
January was the hottest January on record by a wide margin, and it was also the ninth consecutive month in which global temperature records were broken. Arctic biologist F. Stuart Chapin III has said that the planet is calling out, but no one is listening.
The Climate Solutions Caucus offers hope that this may be changing. Representatives Curbelo and Deutch are setting a great example for others to follow.
