I totally appreciate that.

We have to reduce carbon pollution in order to address dangerous climate change.

Because you make it very clear that we need transition time.

The fact that the Vitter-Udall bill will not even restrict, much less ban, the deadly substance that claims 30 lives a day is nothing short of a national travesty.

California is on a path to cut its carbon pollution by 80 percent by 2050.

I thank the Presiding Officer. Senator Cantwell will be comanaging this bill, and I thank her very much for her strong leadership. The vote that is going to occur at 2:20 p.m. is a very important vote. I rise today to oppose the attempt to…

I want to see you finalize the strongest Clean Power Plan possible.

I have put in the record two documents that show how climate change is fueling our California drought.

My takeaway from this, I am not asking a question, it gets back to the 20 percent cut in EPA's budget that we have seen over time is having an impact internally.

EPA's Revolving Loan Program for drinking and wastewater infrastructure help to ensure the water we drink is safe and that our lakes and rivers are clean.

I voted with my chairman, 98 to 1, climate change is not a hoax, yes.

EPA has a vital mission that affects the wellbeing of every American--implementing our nation's landmark laws to address clean air, children's health, safe drinking water, toxics, and water quality in America's lakes and rivers.

Yes, I think my colleague is right. The budget does place an important focus on combating dangerous climate change.

I think we are gaining ground, not fast enough for our grandkids, but we are gaining ground.

I want to say EPA is doing essential work on behalf of the American people to address the growing threat of climate change.

The health and safety of our children and families depends on the critical work you do and the way we support you or fail to support you.

This budget places an important focus on combating dangerous climate change. We are already seeing the consequences of climate change all around us--from historic droughts to extreme wildfires to vanishing wildlife habitat.

I am pleased that EPA's budget request of $8.6 billion includes a $452 million increase above the Fiscal Year 2015 enacted level, but we need to remember that 6 years ago, EPA's budget was $10.3 billion, and the Fiscal Year 2016 budget…

I am very concerned that inadequate levels of funding proposed for the State revolving fund is going to hurt our people at home.

Carbon pollution is pollution.

Last week, on the front page of the Washington Post we read that native villages in Alaska are being threatened by deteriorating sea ice.

Thank you for your dedication and devotion to your work, to the American people, to clean air, clean water, safe drinking water, and making sure that we treat this planet the way it deserves to be treated so that our grandchildren can…

I would argue you have misinterpreted it.

Under Article 1, Section 8, Congress has the power to declare war.

I am working with the construction industry to get us all together in April, Republicans, Democrats, business, labor, everybody in between.
