“And my colleagues, in an op-ed in The New York Times this morning, four former EPA administrators appeal for action on climate change, stating: The United States must move now on substantive steps to curb climate change. I think this House could learn a thing or two from the authors of this article. These former EPA administrators worked for four Republican Presidents: Nixon, Reagan, George Bush, and George W. Bush. They say that ``there is no longer any credible scientific debate'' about climate change, and they also point out that our window for action is shrinking. They say they support the actions that the President is now taking under the Clean Air Act to reduce carbon pollution, and they call on Congress to start the overdue debate about what bigger steps are needed domestically and internationally. They conclude with this very powerful statement: The only uncertainty about our warming world is how bad the changes will get, and how soon. What is most clear is that there is no time to waste. ____________________”
