There's no unifying moniker for the host of conservative green groups that descended on the Republican National Convention here this week, but activists did agree on this: Their ranks are growing, and they believe they can turn the tide on climate policy in the GOP before the 2020 election. ......................................................................................�.............................................................. ......................................................................................, Image removed for email:2016 Republican Convention Logo '• `.........................................................................................................................................................................................:............................................................... "We claim some of the territory the parry seems to have lost," Conservatives for Responsible Stewardship President David Jenkins told Greenwire this week. As the Republican Party dismissed climate policy in the 2016 platform it adopted this week-- opposing j a carbon tax and calling for reduced fundi�g for renewable energy-- representatives from numerous conservation and clean energy groups descended on the city and met during daily events to discuss climate on the sidelines. i Delegates on the floor of the Quicken Loans Arena, the convention's main venue, held signs aloft this week with the words "Trump Digs Coall"-� referring to Trump's vows to help reinvigorate the nation's mining industry (ClimateWire, July 20).

In particular, Brainard --who backed Ohio Gov. John Kasich in the GOP primary but cast his ballot for Trump as required by his state's primary ary results--said he points to the party's conservation roots under former Presidents Theodore Roosevelt, Eisenhower and Nixon. "There's a lot of hesitation on behalf of Republicans now to speak out, mostly because the climate deniers are loud and brash without very much thoughtful discussion. It's important to remember the root of conservative is conserve,"said Brainard, who serves as co-chairman of the U.S. Conference of Mayors' Energy Independence and Climate Protection task force and held a seat on the Obama administration's State, Local and Tribal Leaders Task Force on Climate Preparedness and Resilience. Brainard is also able to tout his own city's success with conservation measures, including changing city light fixtures to LEDs and instal ing 100 roundabouts to address traffic and save gasoline (ClimateWire, July 28, 2014). 3 ROB DEROCKER The Indiana native, first elected in 1985, said he tailors his message, touting things like financial savings or national security when s eaking with "someone who's a climate science denier." "Most of the things that you do that are good for the environment also save money," said Brainard, who acknowledged that much of hi 3 focus is merely provoking a discussion of climate-friendly policies. "A lot of Republicans are afraid to talk about the environment, and I think they have been afraid to speak out in fear of being shouted down by the louder elements of the party," Brainard said. When asked whether he'll back Trump in November, Brainard said he plans to support his party. "I think he's our nominee. I'd rather have a seat at the table," Brainard said. "I'm going to try to influence the discussion, attempt to change his mind on some of the climate issue, and give him some good, solid reasons for doing that. Hopefully, his campaign's advisers will pay attention to some of us and see how that goes."
