Most Iowans agree that climate change is real, is caused by human activities, and is causing more severe weather like flooding, drought and derechos. Many talk about the need for climate action but aren’t sure what is the best thing to do about it.
We need to act urgently to prevent the most severe consequences of climate change. Is there a single piece of national legislation that will effectively reduce carbon emissions, the primary cause of global warming and climate change? Can it do this without harming the economy or hurting the most vulnerable or those with the lowest incomes?
