“John Warner had a great piece in there, and others. It made me so proud. At that hearing we had all these experts talk about the fact that, over time, temperatures would go up. But in between, as you say, it is not a matter of the weather that day, but it is the pattern over time and what happens over time. You have these extremes but over time the warmth kicks in. We are seeing it happening. The American people are smart. They get it. We are just not going to let up. As calm as we sound now, that belies what we feel inside and the obligation that we have to act. I guess this is as good a time as any to tell the American people they will see more of us, and more colleagues will work on this. I thank Senator Reid because Senator Reid has elevated this issue in our caucus, devoting more time to this issue. He cares about this. He is a wonderful family man with a lot of grandchildren. He wants to give them what so many of us have had--the beauty of this country, the livability of this country. There will be more of this to follow. I ask my colleague if he wants to close, and I yield to him.”
