[font size=3]They are a species trying to bolster their waning numbers: GOP climate hawks. Recently I'd heard there would be a gathering of these elusive creatures—Republicans who believe that climate change is real, and a serious threat. So I grabbed my camera to document their behavior in the field. They may be in the political wilderness these days, but they are making their call heard ahead of the all-important New Hampshire primary.

"Responsibility is a big Republican theme...why should they not take responsibility for what we are collectively doing to the climate system?"

Because a collective problem demands a collective solution, and that would be antithetical to the GOP platform.
