Pappas, ChrisNew Hampshire1DCongressman Chris Pappas understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On the Congressman's, 'Energy and Environment,' page, it states, "We should all work to leave our environment better than we found it by promoting clean energy, supporting environmental protection, and directly confronting the existential threat of climate change [...] I believe it is critical that Congress develop and pass thoughtful, innovative solutions to the climate crisis before it’s too late to mitigate the worst effects of the catastrophic changes that are already upon us. We must act now to put our state and our nation on a pathway to a more sustainable future."100100In a 2019 press release announcing his support for the Climate Action Now Act, he stated, "Climate change is an existential threat not only to our environment but also our economy, our national security, and our way of life...With rising sea levels and worsening storms, New Hampshire communities are already facing the very serious impacts of climate change and it is imperative we take action. The U.S. plays an outsized role in global emissions and it is critical that we reaffirm our international commitment to combat climate change. I will continue to fight for policies that support a robust clean energy economy and a more sustainable future.” However, his previous support for climate action does not mirror his current actions and view. According to a 2022 NH Journal article, "After years of calling climate change is “an existential threat” and voting to raise taxes on oil and gas companies, Pappas now says he supports increased fossil fuel production and an “all of the above” — oil, gas, and nuclear — energy policy." An “all of the above” strategy includes expanding domestic production of fossil fuels and is counterproductive to reaching zero carbon emissions. Congressman Chris Pappas does not oppose climate action.25Congressman Pappas has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon. During a 2019 interview with New Hampshire Public Radio, when asked about his support of a carbon tax, the Congressman stated, "We had a forum last night on CNN. But I think we do need a more robust debate around climate issues, including a proposal like a carbon tax. It's not an idea that I've signed on to at this point in time." Rep. Pappas voted against a 2024 resolution by Rep. Ryan Zinke that would have expressed the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy (H. Con. Res. 86). 5068.75https://pappas.house.gov/issues/energy https://pappas.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-pappas-co-sponsors-climate-action-now-act-stepping-us-commitment https://nhjournal.com/pappas-signed-no-fossil-fuel-money-pledge-took-money-from-nord-stream-lobbyist/ https://www.nhpr.org/post/conversation-1st-district-congressman-chris-pappas#stream/0 https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/202497Supports RoePro ClimatePro ClimatePro ClimatePro ClimatePro ClimatePro ClimatePro Climate
