Today, Senator Joe Manchin III of West Virginia joined me in Rhode Island for the #ClimateCommonSense tour to see the effects climate change is having on our state. We visited the coasts from Newport to Matunuck and were out on the water with RI DEM, researchers, and fisherman who echoed what locals were telling us throughout the day: that they’re experiencing the severe effects of rising tides, the warming ocean, and coastal erosion. I’m grateful my friend and colleague from West Virginia was able to see for himself how climate change is affecting Rhode Islanders and am confident that we can move forward on this issue in Congress in a way that preserves the economy and quality of life in RI, WV, and all across the US.
