Climate change is no longer a distant problem- it's here and it's now. Young Americans, who will have to live with the most serious effects, want to see the gov't do more. #ClimateLegislation

Trees can cool urban areas by up to 10 degrees. Urban greenery is important both for carbon uptake and protecting people against extreme heat. New York City policymakers hope to increase the city’s canopy cover by 50 percent by 2035: ow.ly/mr6L50MAznB via @nytimes

Great piece:
"Solving the #climate crisis requires a myriad of solutions, of which a thoughtfully designed #CarbonTax is only one. Clean energy mandates, ending fossil fuel subsidies, and investments in marginalized communities are also necessary."

Nice! Check out this op-ed in @thestate from a @UofSC student:
"A price on pollution universally incentivizes sectors across the economy to lower their emissions. The money from the fee could go right back to American wallets as a 'carbon cash back.' ”

Indeed. Executive actions from the Obama admin were quickly dismantled by the next administration. We need legislation with a #PriceOnCarbon.
Resorting to executive action to solve climate challenges will not help achieve Biden’s net-zero emission goals. My new blog post: niskanencenter.org/executive…
