WASHINGTON, D.C. -- As President Obama travels through Alaska and draws attention to the startling impacts of climate change in that state, a new nonprofit group said that putting a price on carbon would be the quickest, most efficient, and most politically palatable way to counter climate change.

On July 10, 2015, Jay Timmons, CEO of the National Association of Manufactures (NAM), published a letter to the editor in the Wall Street Journal in response to an opinion piece discussing Senator Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) support for a carbon tax. In his response, Timmons cited a misleading study on a carbon tax that other organizations such as American for Prosperity and the Heritage Foundation have also referenced on their websites.

Over the weekend the Rhode Island Providence Journal, Milwaukee WI Journal Sentinel, and the Raleigh, NC News & Observer ran an OpEd penned by Partnership for Responsible Growth founder and former U.S. Ambassador to Austria, Bill Eacho.

More Republicans and voices typically considered authoritative in conservative circles are becoming vocal, acknowledging that man-made climate change is occurring and there is something we need to do about it.
