Marin Chapter – Citizens’ Climate Lobby

The Marin Chapter of the Citizens’ Climate Lobby supports all efforts to drawdown CO2 emissions and reverse climate change. We support the market based solution to climate change by advocating a carbon fee and dividend. This policy will help enable and accelerate the development of renewable carbon-free technologies.

“CCL exists to create the political will for climate solutions by enabling individual breakthroughs in the exercise of personal and political power.”

Their statement reflects:

  • a Carbon increasing annually
  • A “border adjustment” to enhance the competitiveness of American business
