Take urgent action to address man-made climate change
We need to take urgent climate action to address man-made climate change. We must take urgent climate action that lowers our carbon footprint and invests in renewable energy in a way that creates good-paying jobs for Iowans.
When it comes to renewable energy, Iowa has already been a leader, as more than 40% of our electricity comes from wind, creating an industry that directly employs around 10,000 Iowans.

Climate change is getting worse; urgent action needed
Q: Consider human-caused climate change a serious threat?Theresa Greenfield: Yes. Advocates "urgent climate action." "Climate change is getting worse. We've seen it in extensive floods that destroy our fields and wash away parts of our cities."
Joni Ernst: No. "I think there is probably a contribution [by humans, but] if we wipe all industry off the face of the Earth, our climate is still going to change."

Bio fuels can be part of solution to climate change
Q: Can we continue to bet on ethanol given movement towards electric vehicles and away from fossil fuels?Greenfield: We have to take urgent climate action. In my Fair Shot for Farmers plan I focus on a number of things from trade, to leveling the
playing field, to investing in conservation, focusing on making sure that we become the first net zero farm industry. We need to invest in research to understand what else we can do from shipping to airplanes, we need to invest in bio-based manufacturing
