Behind all the Trump noise hogging the media 24/7 Clinton has been busy pushing together people to cover a wide range of issues concerning Climate Change. Politico put out a nice article today that shows that despite a crazy busy year of campaigning, she takes this issue seriously.
“The team of nearly 100 informal advisers, who have spent the past year compiling recommendations on everything from chemical safety and Everglades restoration to nuclear power and climate finance, includes holdovers from the Obama administration such as former White House advisers Carol Browner and Heather Zichal.” Politico
Being a policy wonk will turn into the best gift for like minded people that are preparing her platform. Some of Obama’s Climate change guys are leading the way to organize and strategize on how to get things done.
“Over the past year, the trio have organized monthly conference calls and policy-focused working groups that have drilled down on specific issues, according to sources familiar with the process. The much larger team of informal advisers has been tasked with writing position papers that explore policy details in greater depth than Clinton has plumbed in her public statements.”
The depth of her intent shows. Seeing Climate Change as having many issues within the issue, she’s sought out people to also address how this issue affects the poor and minority communities. Seeking people like South Carolina’s state Rep. Harold Mitchell who pursues environmental justice movement issues shows the depth she’s looking into.
Read the article. It’s kinda cool to watch how she’s willing to have a large table on a large issue. And she’s listening.
