Evers can boost DNR, public policies with enhanced climate science focus

Incoming House Democrats will have a Select Committee on the Climate Crisis.

The "crisis" name is a clear nod to the mounting scientific findings about the ongoing and expected harms that will unfold without steep worldwide emissions cuts.

Team Evers with a similar move - - or through statements followed by serious hires and actions - - could send a strong message to Walker's mismanaged Wisconsin, the Midwest where we're lagging and to the country that Wisconsin has the experts - - right in Madison - - who can move our state from climate change denier and environmental outlier to leader.
