Ed Markey: “The leader is correct. No solutions, 5 years, and it is more dangerously warm on the planet. Four hundred billion…”

On the recordMarch 6, 2019
The leader is correct. No solutions, 5 years, and it is more dangerously warm on the planet. Four hundred billion dollars' worth of damage was done to our country in the last 2 years. We had fires out in the West, flooding, $400 billion worth of damage--and the consensus among scientists is that it is only going to grow worse as each year goes by--and still no answers. Nothing on the floor from the Republicans, nothing that would deal with the problem, and no admission that it is caused by human beings and that we can do something about it.
