Alan Lowenthal: “I still--I have circled in his--but emissions are--no matter what--even though what we are doing--emissions are still…”

I have no further requests at this time. I am prepared to close, and I reserve the balance of my time.

The Biden administration must chart a course that leads the world to achieve our emissions reduction goals.

Gulf Coast communities are also on the front lines of climate change, and sea-level rise, erosion, flooding, and more powerful storms will continue to wreak havoc until we reduce our emissions.

I personally remain cautiously optimistic, but I also still believe that transitioning away from fossil fuel is the most effective strategy for saving the planet for our children and for our grandchildren.
