I hope that somehow this will serve as a wake-up call for the Administration.

I think this is a fundamental mistake.

I think we can use what you've said today to force the Administration and force our Government to abandon this position of denial.

There is no way we're going to meet what Framework Convention says.

We know, for example, the carbon sequestration programs can make a genuine difference.

I think we ought to be moving forward.

I had a town meeting in Prineville just last weekend in Central Oregon, and they were raving--in fact, timber industry leaders were raving about EDF and your efforts to reach out and bring people together.

In Oregon State University, they found that forestry alone might be up to a quarter of the solution to the global warming problem.

The fact is, the rest of the world is now moving forward without America.

I support research, but it is critically important that we act.

Your bipartisan approach is exactly the way to attack this issue.

I don't see any strategy to plausibly attain what was set out in 1992 on a voluntary basis. I just don't see it.

What plausible reason would there be for not moving ahead aggressively here?

There are going to be other bills, as well. I have a chance to wear multiple hats, because I sit on this Committee, and I also sit on the Environmental Committee.

The world does not agree with our position, and they do not agree by an overwhelming majority.

I just don't think these workshops are going to cut it.

The problem is, nobody in the world agrees with us.

It's not realistic to expect that it's going to be enough for the climate.
