I think this is an example of how Senators can come together and legislate in a bipartisan fashion.

I am proud to cosponsor this bill with Senator Lieberman as well as Senators Crapo, Cardin, Murkowski, Casey, Whitehouse, Klobuchar and others.

Only when everyone is sitting at the table can we come up with local, fair, balanced and lasting solutions to achieve our environmental goals.

If this pattern of egregious misbehavior of the scientists does raise real and significant questions about the validity of the views they have presented, then I think we have to take a much deeper look.

I would have thought that these people from the IPCC would have had some obligations as well, but it is appearing that they don't.

I am very much concerned not that these are incidental e-mails, but the allegedly unethical and potentially illegal behavior by leading climate scientists may undermine the credibility of EPA actions.

there may not be enough intelligence coming upstream from thousands of communities.

we need to make a firmer commitment to training these local authorities.

few people in history can claim the honor of being expelled by the likes of Evo Morales.

what the Brits do and we do not do is use the contacts we have.

I will use the options available to me as a Senator to prevent consideration of this bill on the floor before these issues are resolved.

Subsidizing thousands of foreign green jobs is a bad use of U.S. taxpayer dollars.

I applaud Senator Schumer's leadership in this area and want to assure you that his concerns are shared by me.

There is bipartisan concern that the Obama administration is using U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund green jobs in China and other foreign countries.

Kerry-Boxer fails to protect consumers.

Finally, cap and trade represents a giant $3.6 trillion gas tax on America's drivers, farmers, truckers and small business.

Kerry-Boxer quickly cuts worker protection funding and eliminates it entirely by 2034.

Senator Bond issued a report that the Waxman-Markey bill, and this would be about the same, we think, would have the effect of a $3.6 trillion gas tax increase.

If Senators can work to minimize this impact on consumers, whether they are residential, the elderly on fixed incomes...

People today are talking about a new poll that shows that people want Government to take action to cut carbon emissions. Sounds like a nice idea. But it is also like asking how many people want a free lunch.

The point I have been making is we can reduce emissions, but we cannot do so if people are losing their jobs and cannot afford to buy power.

I made a mistake yesterday when I said your bill would provide $16 billion less than Waxman-Markey.

Madam Chair, may I interrupt to ask unanimous consent to have entered in the record the Rasmussen Poll which shows that 77 percent would not be willing to spend more than $100 for reducing global emissions?
