the world needs American leadership when it comes to climate.

Your testimony comes at a vital moment for Americans and the human race, frankly.

we are marching together with American businesses, states and local communities, scientists, innovators, farmers, churches, and the faith community.

Climate action gives us an opportunity to transform our world for the better.

keep the pressure on China and India and other large emitters to help them raise their level of ambition.

It's up to us in Congress to help achieve that goal.

There is a brighter path, and it is paved with generational investments in renewable energy, electric vehicles, environmental justice, and climate resilience, and it leads us to a net-zero-emissions world, one in which future generations…

The climate crisis is one of the biggest threats facing humanity and jeopardizes the development gains the world has worked so hard for.

We have a moral obligation to our kids and future generations to do this now, and the United States has a special responsibility to lead the world down this path through our example.

We have got to get a handle on this.

It is up to us in Congress to help achieve that goal.

Well, hopefully the Congress will pass a good clean energy and infrastructure package to demonstrate we-- America is taking a leadership role there and we are serious about acting this decade, right away.

Methane is 86 times more potent than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period, so reducing methane is a very powerful tool to reduce near-term warming.

I don't know why we wouldn't want to take advantage of that for ourselves.

We are poised to vote on a Build Back Better plan that will help us combat climate change.

It's time to chart a better path and build a more equitable and resilient economy.

Thank you for your leadership on climate action.

Solving the climate crisis will be good for business.

The climate crisis has had a brutal impact on our nation this year.

Over the past decades when officials in Florida tried to restrict access to the ballot box, the Voting Rights Act provided protections for all Floridians to cast their vote. Maybe they limited hours of voting, or didn't provide timely…

We have made progress, but we have the technologies now to go farther and help deploy them, as all of the witnesses said, globally.

But we need Federal policies here, tax credits, creative financing policies to help get us there, and that will benefit workers.

Well, thanks in large part to American research and innovation, we can now power our homes and cars and businesses in ways that pollute less and cost less.

We know we must act urgently to reduce carbon pollution.

The key to a clean economy is clean electricity.
