“No one remembers who Edward Everett is. He spoke for a couple hours at Gettysburg. That speaks for itself. There really doesn't need to be much in response to those who deny that climate is an existential threat, so I will just say two lines. According to the data collected by NASA, the past 9 years have been the warmest years since modern recordkeeping began in 1880. The 10 warmest years on record in world history have all occurred since 2010 in recorded temperatures. We have to address that reality, and the fact is, our transportation infrastructure is responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than any other sector of our economy. It needs to do the most to reduce that threat, as well. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.”
