Last weekend, Senator Lindsey Graham died unexpectedly.

“Climate change is real,” Graham wrote in a 2009 op-ed that kicked off his direct engagement in climate solutions.

Those who worked with him and his office started to go down memory lane a bit. I recall being in a meeting with him back when I was with the National Wildlife Federation, which was courting him to take the climate mantle from Senator John McCain. Later, on staff for Senator John Warner, we had hoped to get his vote on the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act. He eventually joined Senator Joe Lieberman’s decade-long quest for comprehensive climate legislation (which failed) and in more recent years, teamed up with Senator Bill Cassidy on the Foreign Pollution Fee Act.
