This is a well-funded and well-coordinated effort to weaponize state treasurer offices to block climate action. With the help of the right-wing Heritage Foundation (which is funded by oil billionaire Charles Koch), Republicans are penalizing companies that invest in renewable energies and take other climate actions.
“The Republican treasurers skirt the fact that global warming is an economic menace that is damaging industries like agriculture and causing extreme weather that devastates communities and costs taxpayers billions in recovery and rebuilding.
Instead, they frame efforts to reduce emissions as a threat to employment and revenue, and have turned climate science into another front in the culture wars.”
Colorado is known for its environmental beauty as well as our relentless efforts to protect our public lands. We cannot let right-wing politicians pull off this power grab here in Colorado and set us back.
The stakes are way up - the fight against climate change is on the line this November. Join the team today.
