Right. The dilemma we face is the window to act is closing in on us. The Senator showed some extraordinary photos. One is up there now. We see that already climate change is creating climate refugees. There was a movie done called ``Climate Refugees,'' and it went out to the island nations of the world that many people never even knew existed. The folks there, because of the sea level change and the change in the weather and the fact that they can't grow the crops they used to and they can't rely on water, et cetera, have to be leaving their homes they have lived in for generations. What the Senator is saying is so sad and shocking. It looks to me as though he is having that in his own State.
