Chris Murphy: ‘Climate Denier’ Trump Would Erase Climate Advocacy from U.S. National Security Policy If Re-Elected

‘I think the only way any country, China included, will take us seriously on any climate negotiations is if the United States does not just talk the talk, but walks the walk’

EXCERPT:

MURPHY: “I think there’s still a potential for cooperation on climate. I think the only way that any country, China included, will take us seriously on any climate negotiations, is if the United States doesn’t just talk the talk, but walks the walk. So the — so, putting into effect the Inflation Reduction Act, which will likely reduce climate emissions from this country by 40 percent by 2035, is absolutely critical. We know that Donald Trump, as a climate denier, is going to erase climate advocacy from our national security policy. But if Kamala Harris is president and the United States continues to do its part to meet our climate goals, then yes, I think there are some opportunities to work with China.”
