Citizens' Climate Lobby - NY23

Citizens’ Climate Lobby is a non-profit, non-partisan, grassroots advocacy organization focused on national policies to address climate change.

CCL's Ben Pendergrass:

“We can't let this moment pass and be beholden to a certain deadline. Even if it takes a little bit longer, and we need to have some hearings, do... changes or additions to the policy, we should do those things.”

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

For climate innovation, “The real game-changer, though, is government support, with clear policy direction and, crucially, by creating demand.” Nothing does that better than a price on carbon pollution; nothing worse than leaving it free to pollute.

One of the steps mentioned on this wonderful website is to "Keep Politicians Accountable" on climate. Appreciate that CCL is mentioned, and we'll continue doing our part to generate what's missing in the equation: political will.

The world is getting warmer and it’s because of fossil fuels.

@SenSchumer, we ask you to include a #PriceOnCarbon in the reconciliation bill. It’s the best way to reduce emissions fast. #ClimateAction

[Citizens' Climate Lobby @citizensclimate]

WHOA! 25 current & former elected Republicans in Utah express support for #PriceOnCarbon in @DeseretNews:

"We support a carbon dividends approach that puts a fee on carbon emissions and returns all the money to the American people in dividend checks."

.@DSM president @HughCWelsh "said he believes a #carbontax should go hand-in-hand with the massive infrastructure proposal that Biden unveiled last month."

@SenSchumer Great gratitude to President Biden and Senator Schumer -- for committing to bold action on climate in line with what scientists say is necessary, and for doing this in a way that boosts our economy.

WOW! Barely a week after introduction, 7 more House members have signed on to the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act. Big thanks to all the new cosponsors!

Ask YOUR House rep to sign on:

The Energy Innovation & Carbon Dividend Act will put a #CarbonCashback in your pocket each month.

Thanks to @RepTedDeutch, @RepJudyChu, @RepScottPeters, @RepAnnaEshoo, @RepCharlieCrist and dozens more members of Congress for introducing this legislation!

[Citizens' Climate Lobby @citizensclimate]

GREAT NEWS! The Energy Innovation & Carbon Dividend Act was reintroduced TODAY by Rep. Ted Deutch (D-FL) with 28 original cosponsors. It will reduce carbon pollution by 30% in the next 5 years, and move us to net zero by 2050. Learn more at https://t.co/7OFiKLZW7M. @RepTedDeutch

Really excited about @SenatorDurbin's carbon-pricing bill that was introduced yesterday. Here's CCL's statement:

#climatechage #carbontax

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

If we want to pass a livable planet on to our kids & grandkids, we need to act urgently. That’s why I am introducing the America’s Clean Future Fund Act today to invest in a clean energy economy. We can create jobs & help our environment at the same time. https://t.co/0tD99gmnKr

[Climate Civics International @climate_civics]

We are glad to see @JohnKerry meeting with @AlokSharma_RDG & @BorisJohnson to create conditions for high ambition at @COP26. The wellbeing of all people everywhere depends on our achieving #ClimateSmart #ResilienceBuilding sustainable & inclusive prosperity.

[Citizens' Climate Lobby @citizensclimate]

"The industry is increasingly embracing a climate policy it once fiercely opposed: pricing emissions of carbon dioxide," @CorbinHiar reports.

"Established prices would be easier to meet than a patchwork of regulations and mandates."

Did you catch this great letter in the @WSJ last month?

"The right national carbon fee would begin to suppress the use of all fossil fuels, everywhere and immediately."

@SenGillibrand @LCVoters Citizens' Climate Lobby's Southern Tier and Finger Lakes chapters are very grateful for your commitment and excellent record on environmental issues

[Citizens' Climate Lobby @citizensclimate]

Republican Senator @MittRomney recently voiced his strongest support yet for a #PriceOnCarbon to fight #ClimateChange.

He's also a member of the bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus in the Senate.

Thank you, Senator, for your climate leadership!
