Peter DeFazio: “Thank you for accepting my testimony to the committee on 'The Business Case for Climate Solutions.'”

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

I still don't know why it happened.

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