is in danger of being cut by congress. so how many wakeup calls do we kbet when it comes to climate change? the u.s. and china are the biggest polluters. is there an appetite to do something about that? what has to be done to awaken. we want to talk about that with our pachbl. we have bill ney along with coral davenport. and the director of strategy at energy initiative at george mason university. and sam stein, a white house correspondent and political editor with the huffington post. coral, i will start with you. you re covering this this week. if you could give us the bottom line of what this report is saying. people have heard so many reports with warnings and dates and targets. what s the bottom line that this report is trying to tell us? this report was about policy.
presidential election. if you look at the long-term political and policy road map, there are a couple of potential openings for something to happen. the first is if and when there s ever a comprehensive corporate tax reform bill. this could be something that happens in the context of the next administration. and this is absolutely something that could happen under a republican president and even with a republican house and senate, the idea would be that you would have a moderate fiscally conservative republican who is in the mix on tax reform who says, look, this is a good thing to do for fiscal conservatives. tax reform and climate change, i have been hearing about these grand bargains forever. i want to thank bill ney, the science guy. coral davenport, alex, thank you all for joining us.
