"the American people deserve to hear their elected representatives voicing their opinions on what many believe to be the most consequential issue facing our time."

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

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

"the impacts of climate change and air pollution are severely felt by low-income and minority communities across the country."
