Should Democrats Reframe Climate Change as an Affordability Issue?

from Political Breakdown · host KQED

Over the holidays, we’re rebroadcasting some of our favorite interviews from 2025. In November, Governor Gavin Newsom was at the COP30 United Nations climate summit in Brazil, where he argued Democrats need to reframe climate change mitigation as an affordability issue. Marisa and Scott are joined by Guy to discuss the politics of energy and how the soaring cost of utilities is becoming a political cudgel.
