Young Conservative Activists Absolutely Believe There s a Bipartisan Path to Address Climate Change
On 2/25/21 at 2:59 PM EST
Young conservative activists concerned about the environment may not be on board with progressive Democrats Green New Deal, but they definitely see plenty of room for bipartisan solutions to address the threat of climate change.
Over the past few decades, Republicans have often appeared to be opposed to addressing concerns about climate change, with many even expressing doubt about the science demonstrating that the planet is warming rapidly due to human activities. That trend is changing with young Republicans, as polls show that the demographic is increasingly concerned about climate change and its impact on the planet s future.

House Republicans held a summit this past weekend in Salt Lake City, Utah, to discuss how to position themselves to address climate change in the new Congress, the
Washington Examiner has learned.
Rep. John Curtis of Utah organized the summit attended by 25 House Republicans.
They invited outside conservative groups to speak to members, including the American Conservation Coalition, Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions, and the Alliance for Market Solutions. Those groups held separate panel events to educate members on climate change.
The meeting is the latest in efforts by congressional Republicans to overhaul their party s climate change platform and messaging to compete with Democrats and the Biden administration. House Republicans are also responding to polls over the last few years that have shown the party is vulnerable among young and suburban voters concerned about the environment and climate change.
