Peter DeFazio: “I have proposed something that is so de minimus that it is just embarrassing that we can't do it.”

We have to provide resources to the Coast Guard so they can mitigate the effects of climate change in their operational planning.

I just really think, even when we finally get to three functional, modern, major icebreakers, I mean, you still have the Antarctic mission and other things.

The idiots in the Senate have been unable to approve the Law of the Sea Treaty, so, we don't have full standing to object to Russia continually extending claims further and further into the Arctic region.

The Coast Guard does not have the privilege of ignoring the significant and consequential impacts that climate change is having on our environment.
