Solve climate change sensibly

I am worried about climate change. The evidence is mounting that not only is it contributing to severe weather events all over the world, but it’s also having negative effects on human health and on the animals and plants that share the planet with us.

Although many of our elected officials are turning a blind eye to what is happening and refusing to take climate change seriously, others have joined the bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus — 86 of them to be exact, equally divided between Democrats and Republicans. They are looking seriously at Carbon Fee and Dividend, which would charge an escalating fee where carbon is produced and then return the money to American households.

This solution makes a lot of sense to me.
