Summary

“Politicians, pseudo-experts, and other partisans have led us to believe that there are only two approaches to climate change: doomerism or denial,” writes Benji Backer – but he says both are dead ends. The activist joins US Congresswoman Harriet Hageman – chair of the Subcommittee on Water, Wildlife, and Fisheries – to discuss real climate solutions that Green New Deal supporters tend to ignore. Rep. Harriet Hageman is the U.S. Congresswoman from Wyoming and a litigator with 34 years of experience challenging federal overreach. She serves on the House Natural Resources Committee, chairing the Subcommittee on Water, Wildlife, and Fisheries, and the Judiciary Committee. She co-chairs the Congressional Coal Caucus. Hageman holds a B.A. and law degree from the University of Wyoming.
