As a global community, we’re known for a long time now that it’s imperative for the worldwide economy to decarbonize rapidly and in earnest if we have any chance of avoiding catastrophic climate change. But as clear as this message has been and as loud as the pleading from the scientific community and elite international consortiums like The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has gotten in recent years, global leaders and the private sector have been excruciatingly slow to lead the charge toward a more climate-friendly world.

The decision to enact the laws also comes as the industry has struggled during the COVID-19 pandemic, with nearly 8,000 Colorado oil and gas workers filing unemployment claims between mid-March and the end of October.
Senator Cooke responds to the question of whether public officials and elected officials have become disconnected with the oil and gas and the reliance state governments have on industry.
How to take action and why political blowback is much more dangerous than in the past due to special interests funding political agendas.
