I agree with Senator Braun that the national debt is a huge issue.
If we don't get ahead of climate change it is a national security imperative.
We're never going to get the debt under control unless you not only look at the spending side but the revenue side.

if we don't get ahead of climate change it is a national security imperative.

The obvious way to fend off these economic shocks is to head off the cause of those shocks, fossil fuel emissions.
