Griffin...he literally runs the Conservative Climate Caucus...the second-largest caucus in all of U.S. Congress.

Benji Backer And? The party as a whole refuses to recognize climate change as a serious issue. Only once that happens can the American public expect the GOP to show a sense of urgency appropriate to the problem.

Benji Backer Last time the Senate voted on the idea that man-made climate change is the reality we live in, less than 10% of the GOP caucus supported the concept. You are welcome to posture but done pretend the GOP seriously cares about the issue. It’s just not true.

Griffin Fill 🪩 Benji Backer Want to keep the world to 1.5C - 2C? Better to support right of center people and groups working every day to bring Rs to the table to work on solutions w/ Ds. A battle of ideas on keeping us to <1.5-2C is what is needed. Vilifying only leads to a >2C world - which nobody wants.

Tim Reckmeyer Benji Backer Lobbying within the GOP is one thing. *Pretending* that the GOP *already* has solutions to get us there is disingenuous and dangerous. It leads to complacency.

Griffin Fill 🪩 Benji Backer The solutions/policies are there. Political will is needed. Thankful for people like Benji and groups like, American Conservation Coalition republicEn.org Climate Leadership Council Americans for Carbon Dividends Conservative Caucus Citizens' Climate Lobby for the work they do on that. Guarantee there is no complacency.

Tim Reckmeyer Benji Backer American Conservation Coalition republicEn.org Climate Leadership Council Americans for Carbon Dividends Conservative Caucus Citizens' Climate Lobby They in trith provide cover for a party which has no serious interest in solving climate issues. A party which refuses to acknowledge even basic facts about the topic.

Griffin Fill 🪩 Tim Reckmeyer American Conservation Coalition republicEn.org Climate Leadership Council Americans for Carbon Dividends Conservative Caucus Citizens' Climate Lobby Griffin, with all due respect, the groups Tim mentioned (and me personally) are doing absolutely everything we can for climate action. We have more “interest” than you could ever believe.

Keep believing what you want to believe, you’re just flat out wrong & not paying attention.

Benji Backer Tim Reckmeyer American Conservation Coalition republicEn.org Climate Leadership Council Americans for Carbon Dividends Conservative Caucus Citizens' Climate Lobby I didn’t deny that *you* have interest. The problem is that you are not the GOP. The unfortunate reality of the situation, sad as it is, is that your primary accomplishment is to provide environmentally conscious conservatives false hope that their party takes climate seriously.

Griffin Fill 🪩 Benji Backer American Conservation Coalition republicEn.org Climate Leadership Council Americans for Carbon Dividends Conservative Caucus Citizens' Climate Lobby Don't know about you Benji, but I'm super happy living in the #FarMiddle .
