And solutions shouldn\u2019t be partisan either.<\/p>\n<p>We must all think globally when approaching this challenge. Halting pipelines or moratoriums on oil and gas production in the U.S. in the name of climate change has little or no impact on domestic carbon dioxide emissions, let alone the rest of the world. The reality is simply this: unless we limit, and reverse, the rapid growth of emissions in the developing world, which now accounts for the majority of emissions and future emissions growth, we will not solve this challenge.<\/p>\n<p>Solutions to climate change must be technologically realistic, economically feasible, and politically sustainable. To reduce global emissions as quickly and cheaply as possible, better cost-effective clean technology is necessary so the developing world will consistently choose those tools \u2014 preferably made in America \u2014 over the higher-emitting options they are choosing today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2021\/apr\/21\/innovation-is-the-political-sweet-spot-for-climate\/\">here<\/a> to read the full article<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#038;nbsp<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>View more of\u00a0<a href=\"\/our-take\">Our Take<\/a>\u00a0and let us\u00a0know what you think at <a href=\"mailto:jaylistens@saperemarketing.com\">jaylistens@saperemarketing.com<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you hear that climate change is real, and industrial activity around the globe is the dominant contributor, you may assume a Democrat or environmental organization said it.
