"The time for rejecting climate science is over. The time for frustration and despair in the face of the climate crisis must end."

"One of the charges of this committee will be to hold field hearings."

"It is unnecessary to incorporate an arbitrary constraint on field hearings, as proposed in this amendment."

"I hope the time we spend together will be constructive for all of us and constructive for addressing the climate crisis."
