Purpose of Meeting
What the Public Needs to Know About Recent Proposals to Address the Climate Crisis
Description:
Since the passage of Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, several ideas are being proposed to address the climate crisis. Before we rush into implementing proposals that will be financed by citizens tax dollars, we need more information. Which technologies will work and which are just providing fossil fuel corporations with reasons to continue using carbon-based fuel use? How can we as individuals and communities push back against more extraction and false promises?
