"let's determine what the true costs of lowering greenhouse gas emissions are, versus the costs of climate-change impacts."

"We've got to work through the fears that addressing climate change will hurt American competitiveness."

"As you've well noted, the situation is grim. The challenge presents us with equally great opportunities for action."

"I also believe that properly constructed markets, such as a cap-and-trade system, can be a powerful tool to lower emissions in an efficient manner."
