      Climate change and its effects are undeniable. Scientists warn we must make unprecedented changes to avoid the worst effects. Policymakers and the public agree we must act now and that's why we need the #ClimatePlaybook. https://medium.com/@Rep.ScottPeters/a-plan-for-immediate-and-sustainable-action-to-address-climate-change-8e0c2766d93f …

      The #ClimatePlaybook is a list of bills already introduced by Republicans and Democrats—some with bipartisan support. Together, they would take immediate steps to reduce greenhouse gasses and slow—even reverse—the effects of climate change.

      First, we need economy-wide incentives at all levels of government and in partnership with other countries. This includes upholding our commitment to the #ParisAgreement and establishing federal programs in the U.S. to prevent the average global temperature from rising.pic.twitter.com/IIgv5Vmbvu

      Economists agree a #CarbonTax offers the most cost-effective incentive to reduce emissions. The majority of American families could benefit from rebates that offset the hardship of increased energy prices.pic.twitter.com/n5ccmb8v2H

      The U.S. transportation sector is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions. We can reduce that by using alternative fuels, such as biofuels and hydrogen, improving fuel efficiency, and modernizing the grid for electric cars.pic.twitter.com/8wLznQqVoD

      Reducing emissions from the electricity sector requires investments in low-carbon, renewable, and zero-carbon emitting technologies. We also need to reform the energy market to successfully transition to a clean energy economy.pic.twitter.com/YjmnTagb2i

          U.S. manufacturing accounts for 12% of GDP, 31% of energy consumption, and 21% of annual greenhouse gas emissions. Promoting energy efficiency, less carbon-intensive fuels, and other mitigation technologies is key to quickly reducing emissions in this sector.pic.twitter.com/PSEwXFQjUt

          The residential and commercial building sector accounts for almost 40% of U.S. energy consumption. While commercial and residential buildings are much more efficient now, we can do more to offset the emissions created by increased use of appliances and electronics.pic.twitter.com/1mLb7I5Gys

          Methane emissions from livestock, and certain soil and manure management practices are some of the most potent sources of direct emissions. Improving agricultural practices and creating programs for carbon offsetting projects are market-based tools that can reduce emissions.pic.twitter.com/vtYc8fj1Xg

          Super pollutants are much more potent than CO2 and stay in the atmosphere longer. We can cut these emissions quickly by supporting methane capture, better agricultural practices, low-emission refrigeration systems, and a national framework for transitioning away from HFCs.pic.twitter.com/sCLh7NFIeF

          The U.S. must also reclaim our global leadership on climate by re-entering the #ParisAgreement, meeting our commitments to Canada & Mexico, and ratifying the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol. We also need to recognize climate change as a national security threat.pic.twitter.com/bw90CJWVeO

          A transition to a clean energy economy will disproportionately affect low-income communities. We need to invest in job retraining, income support, and help workers in the coal and petroleum industry. This will keep our economy strong and ensure a successful transition for all.pic.twitter.com/hL6AV7DCk8

          To be clear, this is only the beginning of a conversation and the #ClimatePlaybook invites new ideas on how to improve these bills – which are mostly bipartisan and therefore, have a good shot at becoming law. Now it’s time to get to work—together.

          Tackling climate change is an opportunity to increase our energy independence, raise our standard of living, ensure future generations have clean air and water, and develop a workforce to make it all possible. I look forward to working with my colleagues to #ActonClimate now.
