Benji Backer: GOP must own climate debate or risk losing hunters, other voters living in country's 'beautiful' heartland

Benji Backer, President of American Conservation Coalition, discusses how conservatives need to “retake the conversation about climate change” and provide Americans with a reasonable and effective alternative to “terrible policies” like the Green New Deal. Backer says Conservatives and Republicans “know how to take care of our land.” “We're hunters, we're fishers, we love to hike, we love to bike, and we love to be outside, we love to farm, and that's part of who we are as people.” Commenting that “we're not at the top of a New York City Building, talking about how much we love the environment, we're actually in it, we're living it and breathing it every single day.”
