Climate Solutions: Cash Back Carbon Pricing
Climate change is messing up life in Montana. We're seeing the impacts:
* flooding to drought conditions for farming and ranching
*iffy outdoor recreation with bad snow, low water, too much smoke
*just plain trouble breathing during longer allergy and fire seasons
It's time to wisely and carefully accelerate the reduction of fossil fuel pollution that is the root cause of Montana's increasingly weird weather. Cash back carbon pricing is effective, drives innovation, makes us healthier, and puts money in your pocket.
We, as citizens, can ask Congress to make it happen!

Here's How it Works
A price on pollution paired with a "Border Carbon Adjustment" not only helps America transition to a clean energy economy, but helps keep countries like China and India accountable as well.

There is no silver bullet. Here are other climate change solutions CCL supports.
Forests: A Nature Based Solution
Forests can be a great way to sequester carbon. They are also very popular! Everyone loves the forest, this is a great way to build bipartisan support for climate change solutions.
Citizens' Climate Lobby Montana is blessed to have a professional forester in our leadership team. Check out this website from Missoula chapter co-leader Dave Atkins:

Building the Clean Energy Economy
Clean energy promotes national security, gets Americans off the roller coaster of prices at the pump, improves our air quality and therefore our health, and mitigates climate change at the same time.
CCL is looking closely at policies that will help electrify buildings, increase efficiency and energy equity, strengthen our nation’s power grid, and update how power is transmitted across the country.
