Tom Carper said "Madam President, the amendment that I have called up is clear, it is simple, and it is straightforward. It makes clear that we are going to address the climate crisis. We are going to do it through policies that do several things: one, create jobs; two, create jobs here in the United States; policies that strengthen our economy--all while reducing the pollution that hurts our health and our environment. We are in a code red situation. This is all hands on deck when it comes to the climate crisis. We don't have a moment to waste. We need to put politics aside and act now on climate change. The budget resolution should allow us to develop legislation that can respond to the urgent challenge of climate change. I ask my colleagues to join me in supporting this amendment. I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Wyoming." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
