Conservative Climate Caucus

CONSERVATIVE

CLIMATE CAUCUS

WHAT WE BELIEVE

• The climate is changing, and decades of a global industrial era that has brought prosperity to the world has also contributed to that change.

• Private sector innovation, American resources, and R&D investment have resulted in lower emissions and affordable energy, placing the United States as the global leader in reducing emissions

• Climate change is a global issue and China is the greatest immediate obstacle to reducing world emissions. Solutions should reduce global emissions and not just be “feel good” policies

• Practical and exportable answers can be found in innovation embraced by the free market. Americans and the rest of the world want access to cheaper, reliable, and cleaner energy

• With innovative technologies, fossil fuels can and should be a major part of the global solution

• Reducing emissions is the goal, not reducing energy choices

WHAT WE DO

• Educate House Republicans on climate policies and legislation consistent with conservative values • Organize co-dels and staff-dels to better understand technologies and issues related to climate

• Organize Member and staff briefings on conservative climate proposals

• Bring Republicans to the table to fight against radical progressive climate proposals that would hurt our economy, American workers, and national security

• Introduce Republican members and staff to leaders in industry, think tanks, and more
