It should not take one more breaking flood or wildfire or hurricane or drought to do what is right.

We can seize those opportunities by voting in favor of H.R. 9 today.

The United States abandoning the Paris Agreement is nothing short of a surrender.

I'm sorry, I have just never found that competition causes any sort of clarity when it comes to medical charges.

What I would really like to see is some sort of directive to our military operations that climate change is something that we need the military to proactively work on.

I think the patients are the innocents. And so, there is an innocent party here.

It shows a clear disregard for the seriousness of climate change; but second, it demonstrates a recklessness in backing out of an agreement.

I think we are setting a really bad example around the world right now.

Our legal system is dependent on having lawyers who will help individuals.
