Lauren Underwood said "This is yet another attempt by my colleagues across the aisle to attack any effort by the Biden administration to tackle the climate crisis and help our communities become more climate resilient. It is obviously misguided, antiscience, and will put all of us at greater risk of harm as a result of climate disasters. Only flawed and shortsighted thinking would presume that the climate crisis does not intersect with so many of the issues relevant to the Department's mission, including migration, national security, and disaster relief. Mr. Chair, I will vote ``no,'' and I encourage my colleagues to do the same. I yield back the balance of my time." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
