Republicans can lead on climate
Regarding “Texas GOP, Dems tried to solve a climate change problem together 10 years ago. Then it unraveled.” (Dec. 10): In February, U.S. Rep.

They hold significant carbon in their trunks and roots which they pull directly from the atmosphere during photosynthesis. By planting trees in urban areas, maximizing forest growth, bolstering tree counts in existing forests and incentivizing innovative building practices, the bill ensures the U.S. is one step closer to meeting our carbon reduction goals by utilizing science-based solutions.

When we moved to Houston in 1986 from Iowa City a writer-filled college town with the highest per capita number of indie bookstores and readings in the U.S. we were disappointed. Houston had far better food, it had Fiesta, it was amazingly diverse, but the book scene appeared to be dominated by big box stores not a happy situation. Until, around the corner from our rental house, we found Brazos Bookstore.
