    Just because something promises it will reduce X emissions by X date doesn’t mean there’s any truth to it. We need to be more realistic in finding climate solutions that don’t just say appealing things, but actually reduce emissions.

    Everyone wants answers on climate change, but we need a more pragmatic approach than what we’ve seen so far. It was wonderful to join with & in Atlanta to discuss how to best move forward.

    If we're working with China to *hold them accountable* for their horrific actions on climate change, COVID, and human rights violations...wonderful. If we're working with China and refusing to hold them accountable, that's unacceptable.

    Unlike Donald Trump, Joe Biden will seek China's help with global problems such as climate change or covid-19 treatments

    Deep in coal country in Utah, there are hard lessons for climate activists

    Not everyday you get to talk nuclear energy, market based solutions to climate change, and go on a hike with a solid group of friends

    The days of people like Kurt Schlichter—and their accompanying disgusting bot accounts—are almost over. It must be hard to grapple with. Best wishes, man! Good luck to your future endeavor of irrelevancy.

    Some ***wonderful*** comments here, mostly from actual bots. But for reference, I’ve dedicated the past 12 years of my life to conservatism. Don’t come at me with the attacks on saying I’m a “lifelong” conservative.
