the question is no longer whether someone will leave but when.

The fact that subsidies for fossil fuel corporations are somehow smart but subsidies for the development of solar panels is 'socialist' is just bad faith and it is incorrect.

I would encourage my colleagues to actually read the resolution presented so that they can speak to it responsibly and respectfully.

How Climate Change is Fueling the U.S. the U.S. Border Crisis

It seems from what we have dug up in history, that is absolutely true, is that some of the first scientists to sound the alarm about climate change came from within ExxonMobil.

So these lobbyists were literally sitting right outside?

I think that ironically, despite that fixation, it does not seem that they have actually read the contents of the proposed and presented resolution.

In American history, when we have been presented with a threat on this scale, have we met that threat, the threat on the scale of climate change, have we met that within economic and mobilization on the scale of a war-time level…

they knew about the scientific basis of the greenhouse effect. They knew that this was true, but... their primary goal was to sow doubt.

there's been a coordinated effort to confuse the American public about dire threats to their health and livelihoods.

the fossil fuel industry and corporate lobbyists and misleading the public about the scientific consensus on climate change.

climate change is not just an environmental issue. It is also a crisis created by massive corporate corruption and misconduct.

There is no such thing as Black identity extremism. Again, this is mere distraction to take the public's attention and the government's resources away from White supremacy and White nationalism, which are the real threats that we are up…

I also ask unanimous consent to enter into the record the letter to the Committee from the NAACP requesting that we conduct this hearing in the first place.
