Woke up, Republicans! How the GOP misses the point of UN’s climate change report | Opinion

Jack Ohman – March 21, 2023

The latest U.N. climate change report comes out, and the GOP’s latest metaphor rolls out, again.

Said the United Nations chief in reaction to the report: “Our world needs climate action on all fronts — everything, everywhere, all at once.” The UN chief is calling on every country and every sector to massively fast-track efforts to tackle the climate crisis.

Meanwhile, Republican congressional members keep pushing for more fossil fuel exploration and look to undo actions Democrats have taken to confront global warming.
