</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">j Faison made the rounds during the GOP convention in Cleveland, speaking on panels and being presented as a renegade Republican who cares about climate change. It’s a shtick the media loves.<b>&nbsp;Since the wealthy businessman announced last year that he would be spending $175 million to promote climate action to Republicans and promote Republicans to climate-minded voters, he’s gotten loads of positive press.</b></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Too bad it’s not warranted. Neither Faison nor most of the candidates he backs support real climate action.</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Faison opposes policies that would cut carbon emissions</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Faison has come out against President Obama’s Clean Power Plan, a set of EPA regulations designed to cut carbon pollution from the electricity sector. That’s not shocking: Many conservatives who accept climate science oppose Obama’s plan too.&nbsp;</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">
</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">But conservative thinkers who are serious about the issue — such as Greg Mankiw, formerly chief economic advisor to President George W. Bush — tend to favor a carbon tax. Faison doesn’t like that solution either, even if it’s revenue-neutral.</span></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><b>In fact, Faison has not endorsed or proposed any policies specifically designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, whether from the electricity system, transportation, agriculture, or any other sector.</b></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><b>
</b></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><b>Faison doesn’t understand what clean energy is</b></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">The entirety of Faison’s nominal pro-climate platform is ill-defined support for “clean energy.” That’s a serious shortcoming because encouraging clean energy will only get us so far; we also need to discourage dirty energy. But Faison doesn’t even understand the difference between the two. He enthusiastically favors more drilling for natural gas, despite the many studies demonstrating that methane leakage renders natural gas no better for the climate than coal.&nbsp;</span><b style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">He calls for expedited approval of liquefied natural gas terminals, despite the fact that liquefying gas and shipping it overseas makes it even worse for the climate</b><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">. He also talks up the promise of “clean coal,”</span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">&nbsp;even though the carbon-capture-and-sequestration technology that could theoretically make coal less dirty has yet to be proven affordable or widely effective.</span></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 51);">Wind and solar power, on the other hand, which have been proven affordable and effective, get just a dismissive mention on the ClearPath homepage. The site gives much more attention to natural gas, coal, hydro, and nuclear. (And the homepage doesn’t mention the word “climate” at all.)</span></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Faison’s chosen candidates don’t support real climate action either</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><b>Late last month, Faison announced that his political action committee will spend $5 million to support five Republican congressional candidates for reelection, even though they’ve done very little to push for climate solutions.</b></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><b>Consider Rob Portman, senator from Ohio.&nbsp;</b>In 2015 alone, Portman voted to undermine the landmark U.S.-China joint climate agreement, to increase oil and gas drilling on public land, to force approval of the Keystone XL pipeline, and to block the Clean Power Plan.</span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 51);">&nbsp;The League of Conservation Voters recently added Portman to its “Dirty Dozen” list of candidates it wants to defeat. Portman did cosponsor a modest, bipartisan energy-efficiency bill, which was signed into law last year, but that’s about the extent of his climate-friendly efforts.</span></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><b>The three representatives Faison is backing — Carlos Curbelo of Florida and Tom Reed and Elise Stefanik of New York — are no better.</b>&nbsp;Faison’s apparent reason for supporting them is that they signed a House resolution recognizing the existence of climate change and making a vague call for unnamed solutions. But none have proposed or endorsed specific plans for cutting carbon emissions, and all three voted in 2015 to overturn carbon pollution regulations, for Keystone XL, and against rules governing fracking on public land.</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><b>Sen. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire</b>, whom Faison is also backing, has the greenest record of his chosen candidates. She has taken many pro–oil and gas votes, but at least she supports the Clean Power Plan.</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><b>Other GOP candidates Faison has backed previously aren’t serious about fighting climate change either. In fact, he supported one of the biggest opponents of climate action: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, a dogged defender of Big Coa</b>l. During the Republican primaries, Faison gave $50,000 to a PAC supporting Jeb Bush, despite the fact that Bush has waffled on whether climate change is a real problem and has never supported any serious climate solutions. Faison also&nbsp;</span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">donated $120,000 to the super PAC supporting South Carolina&nbsp;<b>Sen. Lindsey Graham</b>, who used to be active in pushing climate solutions but has done virtually nothing since yanking his support away from a bipartisan climate bill in 2010.</span></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Faison is deluded about Republican politicians’ views on pollution</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Faison asserts that Republican candidates can be convinced to support clean energy because they care about clean air. “If you believe in air pollution, then perhaps we could get to the same place,” Faison told The New York Times in June, regarding his outreach to Donald Trump and other climate science deniers in his party. “If we have cleaner energy solutions and it brings more energy independence, more jobs, and lower air pollution, then we would do these things even if we don’t agree with scientists on climate change.”</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Where did Faison get the idea that Republicans in Congress want lower air pollution? Certainly not from any honest appraisal of their voting records. Even the candidates he supports vote against regulating conventional pollutants. Just last week, Curbelo and Reed joined most other House Republicans in voting to gut numerous protections for clean air and water. GOP politicians routinely blast Obama’s “war on coal” and promise to bring coal back, even though that “war” consists mainly of stricter regulations of conventional air and water pollutants such as coal ash and mercury.</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Faison cares more about the Republican Party than the climate</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><b>Faison’s real goal isn’t fighting climate change, it’s supporting Republicans. In fact, he says as much.</b></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">As The Wall Street Journal reported in February, “For Mr. Faison, the argument on behalf of forming a clean energy platform for the GOP is a political one. ‘We know the left is going to use this as a wedge issue in this election,’ he said in an interview. ‘I’m dedicated to helping conservatives and the GOP go on the offense on this issue.’ He said offering a conservative clean-energy platform would strengthen the party among key demographics, such as young voters.”</span></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">When Faison launched ClearPath a year ago, Politico’s Darren Goode, who has since joined ClearPath as a spokesman, wrote, “the trend among Faison and other green Republicans is to showcase ideas that are or should be pretty well established within the GOP policy framework.” But the policies already within the GOP framework will not avert catastrophic climate change. They won’t even reduce emissions, much less cut them 80 percent from 1990 levels by 2050, as climate scientists say is needed.</span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">&nbsp;(Faison declined, via Goode, to be interviewed by Grist, and Goode said he could not answer emailed questions in time for publication.)</span></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">So, other than helping to elect Republicans, what is the point of Faison’s endeavor?</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">

</b></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><b>The Republican convention in Cleveland has come to a close, and the official platform of the Party for 2016 maintains the Party’s continued refusal to act on climate change. The Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump, openly admits that he believes climate change is a “hoax.”</b></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">As easy as it is to forget, it is important to remember that political affiliation and Party platforms don’t always coalesce, and the platforms don’t always reflect the will of the Party members. And that’s certainly the case with climate change and Republicans.</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style=""><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">It turns out that the majority of self-identified Republicans actually do accept climate science, and they understand that climate change is a very real threat. The views of Republican elected officials in Washington, D.C. and those funding the Republican Party do not reflect the attitudes of the voters on this issue anymore, and that’s a phenomenal step forward.</span></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">But the partisan denial problem goes further than just one political part. It stretches all the way through conservative media outlets, particularly those owned by Rupert <b>Murdoch (Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, and countless others.) This right wing echo chamber has played a major role in shaping Republican policy towards the environment, and has helped to keep Republican voters in the dark about the realities of climate change.</b></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Convincing Republican leaders to accept the science that they’ve ignored or outright attacked for years may seem like a Herculean task, but that hasn’t stopped several conservative groups from trying to force the far right to stop denying that climate change is a threat.</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style=""><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">The Partnership for Responsible Growth, a conservative organization, ran ads during last week’s Republican National Convention on conservative media outlets showing Republican leaders like George W. Bush and Mitt Romney discussing the dangers of climate change, and urging other Republicans to do the same. Here is one of the ads that ran on Fox News during last week’s convention:</span></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style=""><b style=""><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">But, as The Guardian pointed out, a far more poignant version of that same ad was </span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">rejected by Fox, presumably because it called out specific climate change deniers:</span></b></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><b>The Guardian also notes that the Partnership for Responsible Growth has taken out a series of ads in the Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal, calling out the publication’s long history of climate change denial.</b></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Other groups, including <b>ConservAmerica,</b> are trying to force the issue of climate change onto Republican candidates, encouraging them to not only accept the science of climate change, but to rally behind solutions to help save the planet.</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">There are also plenty of individuals both inside and operating from outside the Republican Party that are hoping to change the Party’s views on climate change. As we reported earlier this month,<b> conservative climate activist Jay Faison announced that he would be spending $5 million in this election cycle to help elect Republicans that accept climate change.</b></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">In addition to Faison’s outside influence, Republican politicians are hoping to push their Party in the correct direction on climate change from within. For example, the Republican mayor of Carmel, Indiana, Jim Brainard, has worked for years to make his city less reliant on fossil fuel transportation by opening up new bicycle and pedestrian routes. When pressed by Grist as to why he supports a Party that openly denies climate change, Brainard offered the following explanation:</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">There are multiple paths to the same result. Conserve is the root of the word conservative. We ought to be preserving our fossil fuels if they’re needed in a future emergency. We wouldn’t have to be involved in as many of the wars we’ve been involved in if we weren’t protecting our flow of oil. Whether one chooses to believe the scientists or not, there are many reasons to reduce our use of fossil fuels. In terms of science, a conservative ought to err on the possibility that [scientists] might be right.</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">All of these efforts are commendable and, hopefully, just the first of many shifts within the Republican Party towards accepting scientific evidence.</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">It is unfortunate that an issue such as climate change policy is still partisan, but as the effects of climate change continue to become more and more obvious — and nonpartisan in their devastation — it will soon be too difficult for anyone, even the staunchest of deniers, to continue on their current path.</div></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4"></font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">
