Tonight, the Progressive Policy Institute’s Center for New Liberalism hosted Representative Scott Peters (CA-52) for a Twitch Town Hall on climate change and how the center-left can approach the climate crisis in a productive, pragmatic way.
“Climate change is an existential threat, and we need to use the full range of policy tools available to address it. The Center for New Liberalism appreciates Congressman Peters for joining us ahead of Earth Day to talk about a radically pragmatic approach to reducing emissions and saving our planet,” said Jeremiah Johnson, Policy Director for the Center for New Liberalism.
Representative Peters has advocated for a novel three-pronged approach to fighting climate change: instituting a carbon tax, regulating and reducing emissions of so-called “super-pollutants” such as ozone and black soot, and removing existing carbon from the atmosphere using “carbon capture” technology.
