Everything we do, everything we do we can do better.

One of the Ranking Members here was a fellow named Jim Inhofe from Oklahoma, who was a climate change denier.

We can be proud as Americans that we are leading the pack in terms of addressing climate change.

I think we know where we are going if we don't work together, pull together.

I think the consensus around innovation, American leadership, things like the example I just gave you that would probably save lots of lives in Hawaii or California or elsewhere, I think that is part of the reason why things are moving forward.

The human influence on extreme weather and its impacts on people is quite clear.

Making more informed policy decisions will help us protect more Americans from extreme weather and allow us to use taxpayer dollars more effectively.

How about heat waves? Absent climate change, would we be experiencing events such as the Pacific Northwest 2021 heatwave, or this past summer's heatwave in the U.S.?

I think we have a pretty good idea of what is wrong. And we have a lot of good ideas about how to address it.

I think it is a moral issue, and it is something that we have a moral imperative to make sure we get it right.

I also disagree that Sackett means we have lost a lot of authority.
