Issue Position

There is no larger external threat to the United States than the changing environment of Earth. Whatever term you want to use, the reality is that we have added uncertainty and disruption to the long-term climate of our planet, and we must deal with the consequences.

This impacts every facet of our lives. Economically, changing agriculture patterns will alter population centers and global trade. As resources that were once abundant dwindle, conflicts will break out where there was once peace. Our infrastructure will have to be rebuilt to accommodate changing temperatures, sea states, and energy needs.

This is the challenge of our lives. Meeting this challenge will require collaboration from business, government, activists, and every citizen of this country. We cannot afford to fail in this effort, but only unity of effort will bring us success.
