The only thing that will stop this epidemic, ultimately, is ending it at its source.

Last year, along with Senators Sessions, Barrasso and Cardin, we sent a letter to the Commission.

I would say to our new members, the Chairman mentioned having good staff. I have always tried to surround myself with people smarter than me.

Pollutants such as HFCs and black carbon are called short-lived climate pollutants because they don't stay in the air for a long time.

That is why reducing these harmful pollutants are a win-win-win.

I would like to thank the Chairman for holding this hearing and thank Senators Murphy and Collins for their legislation that addresses so called short-lived climate pollutants.

We have to surge the response to contain this outbreak.

I ask unanimous consent to yield back all time. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, all time is yielded back.

I am encouraged by how we are doing. I am encouraged by the sense of team.
