“The surprisingly smart solution to climate change — coming from conservatives”

As the article clearly lays out, the big-government schemes promoted by the left are not the only way to address the climate challenge. In fact, there are very effective free-market solutions:
When it comes to climate change, most of us think we know where the battle lines are drawn: On one side, progressives believe a warming planet is a global emergency and advocate sweeping “Green New Deal” policies to address it. On the other, conservatives — led by our coal-loving president — not only fight against such policies, but deny that climate change is even happening.
The reality isn’t so simple. Growing numbers of conservatives are concerned about climate change, and they’re developing policies to fight it. Does that mean Republicans are ready to join Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other progressives in supporting expensive Green New Deal proposals? Far from it.
These green conservatives don’t believe climate remedies should require overhauling “the entire economy,” as an AOC adviser has said. Instead, they hope to harness the power of free markets to mitigate the carbon emissions scientists say promote warming.
Our very own Founder and President Kiera O’Brien had this to say:
“The Green New Deal isn’t a serious plan to fix the climate,” says Kiera O’Brien founder of the group Young Conservatives for Carbon Dividends. “It’s just a label they want to use to remake the whole economy on a more left-wing model.”
