This is similar to universal gun purchase background checks. Republicans are out of step with the majority (and almost all scientists). They will prevent meaningful action on climate change and we will all suffer.

Climate science itself is often complex and abstract. But a brutal heat wave or a heavy storm is visceral, and both climate advocates and deniers are increasingly using bouts of extreme weather as a weapon to try to win people to their side.https://t.co/9PhxAte56d
