each week that you see me standing here means another week in which the Senate of the United States has sat out doing anything to address climate change and another week of carbon pollution streaming into our atmosphere and oceans. Carbon…

as the Senate considers the annual authorization of our military and national defense programs, I am here for my 178th ``Time to Wake Up'' speech, to discuss the security risks climate change presents to our Nation. I urge my colleagues to…

I certainly think a public option that has a robust risk pool would be the most attractive option both for taxpayers and consumers.

Thanks, Chairman. As I think I've done in each one of these hearings, let me thank you and Ranking Member Murray for the bipartisan way...

I want to emphasize Mr. Greeson's testimony that enhanced oil recovery was and is still today the only known way to create a revenue stream that could offset the cost of building and operating carbon capture right now.

These ocean technologies suffer from the same finance problems that the atmospheric technologies do.

Ocean acidification is an often overlooked consequence of global greenhouse gas emissions.

We have now blown through 400, which humankind has never experienced; and projections are that we will crest above 500 parts per million.

So, you know, one thing that is interesting to me is that if you get away from Congress, into courts and into administrative agencies, which are forums in which facts tend to have to be factual and economics tend to have to be real and…
