Climate Hawks Vote is a small-scale, grassroots-funded super-PAC founded in 2013 that supports candidates and elected officials whom it identifies as making climate change a top priority. ==History== "Climate hawk" is a term often used to describe people who work for aggressive steps regarding climate change and clean energy.〔Some examples of news articles that make prominent uses of the term are * * * *〕 The group seeks out those politicians who support pricing carbon, ending the use of coal, and deploying renewable energy, particularly solar and wind energy. Co-founder and chair RL Miller is an activist, blogger, and chair of the California Democratic Party's environmental caucus.〔 The other founder is Hunter Cutting, Director of Strategic Communications at Climate Nexus. The group was founded out of Miller's frustration that parts of the Democratic Party support fossil fuel. Miller states that within the party, "You don't speak out for restricting a woman's right to choose. You don't speak out for the Koch Brothers. Yet at the same time, we've got plenty of people within the Democratic Party who think it is perfectly okay to speak out in support of coal."〔 Miller has cited Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer, "an open cheerleader for coal," as a motivating factor in the creation of the group.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Climate Hawks Vote」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
