Former GOP Congressman tackles Climate Change

Former South Carolina Congressman Bob Inglis tried to tackle the climate issue in Congress during the 2000’s and now is leading an organization looking to facilitate free market solutions to the intensifying climate crisis. His ideas have special resonance here in Florida, where the climate situation is deteriorating rapidly.

Congressman Inglis is the Executive Director of RepublicEN, which is billed as the home of the “Eco Right.” As we have seen in the past, comprehensive climate change policy has to have buy in from both the private sector AND elements of the political right. There has to be enough buy in to make comprehensive change. Similarly an effort has to be made to convince individual citizens of all political ideologies of the imminent need for such change.

Recently, I sat down with Congressman Inglis to discuss the climate challenge and some potential solutions.
