"As some Republicans inch toward climate policy for the first time in years, those in the party who reject climate science are getting nervous that a more permanent shift is coming.
And they're going on the attack against their former allies.
A group called Energy & Environment Action Team recently sent a 16-page pamphlet to every member of Congress encouraging lawmakers to reject all climate policy and connecting concern about global warming to political losses.
In bold letters across the top, the pamphlet stated, 'The Plan is ... No Plan! Why the GOP shouldn't do anything on climate.'
'There is absolutely no reason for any Republican to offer a plan to 'combat climate change,'' the pamphlet continued. 'Such a plan, if enacted would accomplish nothing good for America or the climate.'"
