"Thank you. I want you to take a look at a chart on the surface temperature issue that was raised."

"The cost of ignoring climate change will continue to increase."

"I ask you one thing, is to change the definition, which Senator Merkley will co-sponsor with Senator Wyden on, on the renewable energy."

"We have heard today that climate change is having impacts on the ground right now; that it is not an abstract theory."
