It is important to remember that we are talking about a Federal wildlife refuge, America's Arctic refuge. Mr. Chair, you would lose sight of that, perhaps, listening to the pretzel logic we just heard from my friend who at the end of the…

We just heard some pretty high sanctimony about the need to listen to the people who actually live there. That might be convincing but for the fact that just yesterday, my friends voted to override the wishes of the people who actually…

This is, unfortunately, another delay tactic intended to enable this administration to rush through oil lease sales in the Arctic refuge. And now I am afraid my friends across the aisle are really stretching. This argument that oil…

I know the gentleman does not mean to disrespect or trivialize the interests of an indigenous tribe that for hundreds and hundreds of years has depended on the Porcupine caribou herd, where its calving grounds and the heart of its…

I thank the gentleman for his restraint. One of the arguments my friend from Alaska invariably makes when we talk about this issue is the proposed drilling area is just a tiny little piece of a great big refuge in a great big State. And it…

Today the House of Representatives will take a historic vote to roll back one provision of the Republican tax law that was rammed through the last Congress on a party line vote. In addition to the tax breaks to millionaires, billionaires…

I claim time in opposition. The CHAIR. The gentleman from California is recognized for 5 minutes.

We can also get a multiplayer effect by investing in decarbonizing and actually treat the disease.

if people were serious about really doing this... nobody is even serious enough to buy an insurance policy.

I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that carbon capture and sequestration is a fake solution.

I bristled a little bit when somebody referenced natural gas as a climate solution as clean energy, because it is not.

Sounds like a pig in a poke to me.

The victory lap is over, and these reports show that in 2018 our emissions began rising again.

You beat me to it, Madam Chair. I think, if allowed enough time, I could track down another unanimous consent to show 2019 emissions are rising.

This amendment is simple. It reflects a bill that passed the House earlier this year in March by a vote of 404- 21. I first introduced this bill in the 114th Congress. It was heard by the Natural Resources Committee, reported out favorably…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of subtitle H of title X, insert the following: SEC. __. LANDS TO BE TAKEN INTO TRUST AS PART OF…

This amendment was culled out from the en bloc amendments. I am still not entirely clear why, but I think, to the extent that it deserves to be singled out and culled out, it is because it is a model for other land-to-trust bills that we…

I thank the gentleman for his concerns. I won't relitigate the issue of whether the amendment is made in order. That has been decided. That is why we are here. With respect to the gentleman's concerns about local individuals who may have…

I recently offered an amendment to the Energy and Water appropriations bill that would limit funding to complete the EIS for Pebble Mine.

I want to just say how proud I am to be a cosponsor of Congresswoman Jackie Speier's bill.

The tool that we are talking about was developed by a consensus-based take reduction team that included the consensus support of all representatives of the fishing industry who sat on that team, the entire Maine delegation, that the team…

May I inquire as to how much time I have remaining? The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from California has 3 minutes remaining.

This amendment would prohibit NOAA from utilizing a science-based stakeholder decision support tool to save the North Atlantic right whale from imminent extinction. The decision support tool was developed based on the best-available…

This bipartisan amendment would stop the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration from moving forward with a rulemaking that would change the Federal consistency process under the Coastal Zone Management Act, known as the CZMA. The…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of division A (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __ None of the funds made…
