"I urge, plead with the majority to also hold at least one hearing...just hold a hearing on the issue of climate change."

"We cannot afford to simply ignore science, ignore data, ignore the experts, and ignore the signs that Mother Nature continues to show us."

"I would urge the majority to immediately, again, plead with the majority to immediately schedule a hearing on the merits of global climate change."
