@McCormickForCO So glad to see this pass! Was on committee that accomplished this at NYU years ago and recall vividly what difficult but absolutely necessary conversations took place.
On CCL national call, Mitch Hescox from the Evangelical Environmental Network said that a carbon border adjustment mechanism is "a way to force China to clean up its act."

This horrific climate flooding in Pakistan yesterday wasn't even mentioned in the New York Times. It is caused by burning fossil fuels. The fossil fuel industry systematically lies and blocks action. Climate damage is irreversible. The media is failing humanity and the Earth
Remember budget reconciliation? It’s happening & climate is part of it! The Inflation Reduction Act is a HUGE step forward in the fight against climate change & we need to make sure it passes by ☎️ calling every Democratic office on the Hill. ☎️

There is a path forward. We must help politicians enact policies that will drastically shift finances: carbon pricing, border carbon adjustments, subsidy reform, climate risk disclosures & more.
Which are the most powerful?
Look for where there is pushback (carbon pricing)
Supreme Court leaves it up to Congress to act on climate change. That's OK because Congress can enact a carbon tax and a carbon border adjustment that can make the solution go worldwide. Tax pollution. Un-tax income. Conservatives in Congress, here's your chance! We need you!
Good Q&A w/@SenWhitehouse about his CBAM bill:
"There’s a real prospect that Canada, EU and UK all basically bind together on a common carbon border adjustment. If we haven’t joined up with them, we’re just sort of deliberate losers."
