Politics Done Right

Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) shows that he simply refuses to understand the severity of climate change and the role the U.S. must play. Taxing China and forcing countries to do more of what the U.S. should have done is not the answer. Natural Gas as a Solution: Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana emphasized the importance of burning natural gas as a means to reduce CO2 emissions, stating that emissions from the United States are lower than in 2005. This, he claims, is due to natural gas replacing coal, thereby acknowledging climate change but proposing a solution that still involves burning fossil fuels. Penalizing China: Cassidy expressed concern about China's role as a significant polluter and proposed legislation for a farm pollution fee. He believes that if China does not enforce international norms for the environment, they should be financially penalized. He's also looking to replace current tariffs with a tariff related to pollution, aiming to make China pay for their environmental impact.
