A "Climate Playbook" proposed by my Congressman, Scott Peters, will work as well as a playbook against the New England Patriots in New England while they are looking over your shoulder. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the gold standard source for policy makers, says we need to take grand, bold action if we are to avoid the worst of climate changes effects. Think drought, wildfires and sea level rise. Peters’ playbook is not that action.
Congressman Peters has a unique opportunity to help fill in the framework of a Green New Deal to make sure our San Diego values are represented. Our communities in San Diego have unique strengths and weaknesses, and unique challenges and opportunities, and our representative should be actively involved in crafting real meaningful solutions. We need an engaged leader to lead the way and take grand and bold steps. Co-sponsor a Green New Deal.
