Addressing Climate Change

"Climate change is very real, very serious and we have a moral obligation to address it NOW!

"The consequences of not addressing this issue are totally unacceptable. The economic consequences to America not taking the lead are also unacceptable. The threat to our national security, our economy over the long-term, and peace and stability in the world are too great to ignore."

Frankie Robbins

Frankie Robbins understands why America must take the lead in responding to climate change. First, he believes we have a clear, unmistakable moral obligation as stewards of God's creation.

He has seen the reports of the polar ice caps melting at a much faster rate than predicted by the computer models used by the scientists on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). More recent observations and research indicate the planet almost certainly faces a greater and more imminent threat even than that laid out in the latest IPCC reports.

He recognizes there are tremendous long lasting economic dividends with an economy built on addressing both climate change and energy independence. He knows American leadership in science and technology is our strength and that we must play to our strength by taking the lead in research, development and deployment of the big industry of the future - clean energy and clean technology. Frankie believes in the creativity, resourcefulness, ingenuity, and can-do attitude of Americans. He realizes that if we don't take the lead, other countries will. And, in that instance, the American economy will bear the negative consequences.

Robbins has observed that even the global warming deniers and naysayers have had to admit the planet is warming. But, by continuing to deny that green house gas emissions are a major contributing factor, 1) they deny the current best science; 2) they deny the economic potential of American science and technology taking the lead to develop clean energy; and, 3) they demonstrate their lack of confidence in the ability of American know how, brain power, and can-do attitude to find solutions. Robbins says, "Shame on them on all three counts!"

Frankie Robbins is ready to provide the bold leadership needed in Congress to get America Back on Track to lead the world in addressing climate change and to meet our moral obligations as stewards of God's creation.
