Part I explored the inter-sectional threats of climate change, its discriminatory impacts on the economically disadvantaged, people of color, women, children, and animals; and the unique role animals play as both a cause and victims of climate change emissions. This Article draws on the conclusions in Part I to explore both a new climate policy strategy and potential operational tactics for the proposed new climate coalition. After discussing the potential benefits of refocusing climate change mitigation strategies on short-term methane control opportunities, this Article discusses whether the campaign tactics deployed by the animal protection movement over the last decade to address farm animal abuses could be a model for a new collaborative effort to control climate change emissions in an era where the efficacy and existence of regulatory control measures is in doubt.Read More
