silence7Harris’s New Strategy: Equate Fighting Climate Change With ‘Freedom’ | The Harris campaign isn’t offering details on climate policy but is framing fight to protect the environment as one of patriotism
This doesn’t make any sense - fighting climate change isn’t some local effort where if you suddenly stop doing CO2 emissions in your country, the country becomes suddenly safe. There needs to be a radical global cooperation for this, there’s no place for patriotism here (in fact, what needs to be done is closer to cosmopolitanism).
Yes, it takes global cooperation, but the US is a very visible prosperous high-emissions country, so showing that it can be done in the US is absolutely critical to enabling global cooperation.
