Senator Raphael Warnock understands the importance of climate action as a top priority position.Today is the runoff election in Georgia between Senator Raphael Warnock and his opponent, for a one-vote margin in the U.S. Senate between the Democrats who passed historic climate legislation in the Inflation Reduction Act, and the other party, which mostly denies climate change. Senator Warnock's Climate Calculation is 81.25 as compared to his opponent's score of 7.5 out of 100.
Vote Climate U.S. PAC believes we must eliminate all human-made, greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, to slow climate change and related weather extremes. Only the complete elimination of these greenhouse gas emissions will lead to a slow reduction in the atmosphere over the next century. The cuts in carbon pollution in the Build Back Better put us on the path to realizing these goals, unlike any legislation before it. Senator Warnock voted in favor of this legislation.
With the 5 votes, including those above, Senator Warnock voted 100% pro-climate on the votes scored by Vote Climate U.S. PAC, while serving in the U.S. Senate. Since his opponent is not a member of the U.S. Senate, he has not taken any climate votes, but it seems clear, given his position, that his votes would not likely be in favor of climate action.
Alas, Senator Raphael Warnock has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon pollution, a fee imposed on fossil fuels intended to dramatically reduce or eliminate the emission of carbon dioxide from those sources. A carbon fee would also aid in the switch from fossil fuels to clean, renewable energy and slow climate change. Warnock needs to support a fee on carbon pollution publicly and unequivocally.
