Citizens Climate Lobby is a non-partisan, non-profit organization with over 200,000 members. Their mission is to find ways to overcome climate change. Jeff Turner (from Columbia Town Center Rotary and Citizens Climate Lobby) and Dr. Cliff Strawitch (from Citizens Climate Lobby) will do a Zoom presentation about Climate Change, how Climate Change affects people in our region, and how CCL’s efforts to build bridges in a non-partisan way to solve climate-related issues align with Rotary’s mission. The main emphasis of the presentation is to build a case for putting a price on carbon. Economists agree that the best way to combat climate change is to put a fee on carbon, and to allow market forces to reduce CO2 emissions. Putting a fee on carbon will make alternative energy sources such as solar, wind and nuclear (as well as hybrid and electric vehicles) more attractive economically.
