Can a GOP Donor Get Conservatives to Fight Climate Change?
Millionaire businessman Jay Faison is trying, but the presidential candidates aren’t making it easy.
The most outspoken Republican donor calling for the party to address climate change says the way forward on the issue is to not focus too heavily on climate change.
Jay Faison, a North Carolina businessman who recently dedicated $175 million to make climate change an issue Republican candidates care about, said at the National Press Club Tuesday that he’s not out to change people’s minds, just to support Republicans who adopt forward-thinking policies on cleaning up American carbon emissions.
