To the Editor:Re “Oregon’s Climate Bill and the Case of the Disappearing Republicans” (news article, June 25):The standoff over a climate bill in Oregon’s statehouse is distressing. But the partisan gridlock provides a valuable lesson when it comes to climate solutions: They must be bipartisan. For that reason, it is encouraging that in Congress right now, there is a bipartisan effort to relaunch the Climate Solutions Caucus, a group of lawmakers who explore economically viable options to tackle climate change in such a way that bridges the divide between both parties. The relaunch of the caucus shows that it is possible for Republicans and Democrats to unite on an issue so fundamental as the warming of our planet. It would be a mistake, however, to put all the federal eggs in this one basket.
