Bill Nelson said "I say to my friend, the Senator from Rhode Island, would it be fair to sum up the Senator's statement of what is happening to the planet by saying that the additional heat is prohibited from radiating out into space and is trapped by the greenhouse gases, 90 percent of which is absorbed by the oceans, and as the ocean water heats up, the volume rises, and thus, sea levels rise, and there is an increased heating up of the entire Earth's temperature; is that a true statement?" @ PoliticalQuotes.com
