Former GOP Congressman Blahblah Conservative Solutions Blah Free Enterprise Blahblahblahblah

And he's packing them in at UNC . . .

Former congressman Bob Inglis wants Republicans to know that caring about climate change isn’t just for liberals. Inglis said that Republicans typically view climate change from a liberal lens, thinking it means doing with less and overthrowing the current system. His philosophy is far different.

“We come along and we say ‘Actually, what we’re talking about is more energy, more mobility and more freedom,'" he said. "We’re talking about lighting up the world.’”

Inglis visited the University on Wednesday to speak about his "conservative, free-enterprise approach to climate change." His talk was held as part of a speaker series hosted by the UNC Institute of Politics.

EDIT

Border-adjustability is where Inglis’ plan goes global. Under his plan, imports from countries that don’t have a carbon tax similar to the U.S. will be taxed accordingly. Other countries, not wanting to pay taxes on their imports to the U.S., would enact similar carbon taxes causing global emissions to plummet. “This is very important for conservatives — no international agreements, no U.N., no bowing and scraping and no protracted negotiations,” Inglis said. “We’re using the power of our marketplace.”

Ed. - Well, good luck.
