A Republican And A Democrat Walk Into A Bar - To Talk Climate Change

This legislative session is looking like the make-or-break for any action on climate change from the Washington state legislature.

As Governor Jay Inslee and the Democrats continue to push for a cap and trade system, Republicans continue to voice strong opposition. Is there a middle ground?

You be the judge of that. Listen in as two leading senators - one Republican, one Democrat - sit down for a beer with EarthFix's Ashley Ahearn and talk about climate change -- with some detours in the conversation to discuss baby goats and Santa Claus, too.
