Lynn Meyer wrote a response article titled An economic environmental plan to The Christian Science Monitor. Meyer wrote the piece in response to The Monitor's article What are Republicans going to do about climate change? While her response is short I think she does a decent job of getting to the point but not necessarily making it. Meyer states that "..a majority of Americans want action on emissions reduction, and Republicans will have to come up with a plan they can get behind." I would like to know how many Americans are behind this and if they are Republican or Democratic. Does it mean that the Democrats already have an agenda for an economic environmental plan and the Republicans keep turning it down.

Meyers does state one option that some conservatives are already on board with but whether they're Republican or Democratic isn't stated. It is one decent option and Meyers does make good points with helping the environment (which is good for everyone) creating new jobs (also helpful) and boosting the economy (again great). I don't like how that's the only option. If Republicans are the ones that have to do something about the climate change I think it's only fair to give them multiple options and work with them to figure out many different choices and to have a variety to choose from. Meyer also should have given more statistics or from multiple sources to solidify their point. There was one source and while that was their findings there could be more that had completely opposite findings.

This response didn't convince me that this is the way for Republicans to get on board to help make a change with the climate. It is an idea, but it's just that. Just because one study was done with good results doesn't mean it would work well everywhere. I think we need to find an option that would not only benefit as many people as possible but would work well wherever it would be necessary.
