On May 7, more than two dozen Citizens’ Climate Lobby volunteers from across North Carolina met with legislators from both parties in the North Carolina legislature to discuss commonsense solutions for climate change.
Those discussions centered on legislation to increase leasing of solar panels, market studies to determine how low-cost renewable electricity can be delivered to North Carolina ratepayers and the protection of wetlands. Each of these areas is important in the fight to reduce the effects of carbon dioxide pollution from burning petroleum fuels. That is the principal cause of climate change. We need to wean ourselves away from them to preserve a livable world.
CCL is a national nonpartisan grassroots volunteer organization that works to build the political will with elected officials in Congress and state governments around the country for effective, bipartisan, market-based climate solutions. Everyone can help with the effort. Most citizens are aware climate change is occurring and want to see action to stop it.
It is election season. Take a moment to contact your representatives in Raleigh. Let them know you want effective action to stop climate change. Call Rep. Chuck Edwards in Washington, D.C., and tell him to support the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act (HR 5744). That legislation would tax oil and gas producers, give all citizens a monthly cash back from the tax revenue, create jobs and stimulate the development and deployment of climate-friendly energy technology. It would create the economic incentives to enable a rapid reduction in the use of fossil fuels.
Preserving the Western North Carolina environment we cherish requires action. Everyone can help.

“Call Rep. Chuck Edwards in Washington, D.C., and tell him to support the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act (HR 5744).” …as MAGA as they get Chuck Edwards isn’t going to be supporting any legislation, EVER. that ” would tax oil and gas producers, give all citizens a monthly cash back from the tax revenue, create jobs and stimulate the development and deployment of climate-friendly energy technology. It would create the economic incentives to enable a rapid reduction in the use of fossil fuels.” And ahem, “..give all citizens a monthly cash back from tax revenue” …WHAT??? We’re talking about here in the United States, right? You sure you’ve got this all of this correct? ..lol.
What exactly does “Stop Climate Change” mean? Seems like climate has gotten worse with all the “change” being regulated into our daily lives. Maybe the climate is angry at the left capturing the Sun’s power and keeping the energy in dirty non environmentally friendly storage devices that physically scar the earth.
The Earth is angry — literally hot under the collar — because the Mother Goddess doesn’t like fossil fuels. She buried that carbon underground for a reason.
Your counter-argument is like saying people should drive to work instead of walk because shoe leather costs money.
Climate change is as real as it gets …..and the only ones who don’t or can’t seem to get this are the delusional MAGA devotees. sigh.
Climate change isn’t real. Been hearing these environmentalist alarmists preach their false narrative all my life.
Now why do you suppose you’ve been hearing about climate change all your life? “Human activities are driving the global warming trend observed since the mid-20th century. Scientists attribute the global warming trend observed since the mid-20th century to the human expansion of the “greenhouse effect” — warming that results when the atmosphere traps heat radiating from Earth toward space.” https://science.nasa.gov/climate-change/
Just silly and inaccurate from you, as usual.
You were lied to…face facts.
Admitting you’ve been a dupe is the first step…and then ask yourself why you were lied to, and more importantly by whom?
Put down that water bucket, you’re carrying it for people who think you’re nothing more than a useful idiot.

Climate change IS real. A few million years ago Dinos lived in Montana which had a sub-tropical climate. A mere 25,000 years ago Montana was under ice as was the north half of both North America and Europe. Modern human life emerged during that most recent Ice age. Climate change is NOT catastrophic. Climate change is NOT rapid. It took 10,000 years for temps to warm to approximately todays level when the most recent Ice age ended. It is beyond absurd to think the people of NC can change affect climate to even a measurable degree. Neither can the people of the US. Every kg of atmospheric CO2 the US reduces is replaced (and then some) by China, India, and the developing countries.. The earths climate can be viewed as existing in a deep stable potential well with a broad but uneven base with many relative minima that are locally stable.
