Frank Luntz had doubts about the effects of climate change, but now he advocates the importance of stopping it

A pandemic is still brewing across the globe and a tumultuous American election is only months away. The future is foggy, but one thing is for certain: Dr. Frank Luntz, an influential communications consultant renowned for his work as a pollster and political strategist, is determined to keep pushing ahead for climate action.

Luntz needed to see firsthand the effects of global warming; he went to Alaska to observe the ice caps melting, and traveled to numerous countries to see the devastating impact on a multitude of species.

“There’s never been a better opportunity to rethink our climate policies,” Luntz says from his home in Los Angeles. “We are rethinking everything; our politics, our educational system, our economics, our foreign policies, and the environment. Everything is going through a fundamental examination.”
