Senator Murkowski was the original co-founder of the Oceans Caucus and has been a part of this all along.

If it's hitting home in Alaska, if it's hitting home around the world, we should not be paying zero attention.

Well, look, I think what I've said all along, and which I think many Democrats have said throughout this whole process, we keep knocking on that door and being told you're not welcome.

The first thing, the very first thing the Republicans in the Senate did when they got in, like their first day was to choose to go the reconciliation option and slam the door on us and let us know we were not welcome.

For one thing, the work that the Intelligence Committee is doing by virtue of touching in so many places on classified information is never going to be as public as we had hoped.

Well, I think, you know, we're going to have a whole lot of seats and a whole a lot of members of Congress we're going to have a really good chance at getting replaced.

to the disappointment of the American public, the world scientific community, and even to corporate giants like Goldman Sachs and Cargill, President Trump recently decided to withdraw the United States from the Paris Agreement. He cited as…

I ask unanimous consent to be allowed to speak as in morning business for up to 15 minutes. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

When President Trump announced his withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, he used these alternative facts from that chamber- commissioned NERA report. Here is what Trump said: Compliance with the terms of the Paris Accord and the onerous…

We are looking at a potential economic catastrophe if we do not get ahead of this.

it is a great pleasure for me to be here with Senator Heitkamp. We knew each other as attorneys general so I have admired the Senator from North Dakota for a long time. From my time in West Virginia, I remember Senator Capito's father who…

Does the Senator know that, in Cumberland, RI, there used to be coal mining? In fact, there are still coal mines underground in New Cumberland, WV. Every once in a while, one collapses, so we have been there.

there was an interesting press conference earlier today in which I joined with Senator Heitkamp, Senator Capito, and Senator Barrasso on a common piece of legislation that will help address climate change. That does not happen often, so it…

So it is a really serious issue for Rhode Island and I think other coastal States to address the problem of the new pressures on our coasts of storms and seas.

I hope very much that, as we look at WIFIAs and TIFIAs, we can at least be thinking about the prospect of a coastal IFIA.

I am back for my weekly ``Time to Wake Up'' speech, which, given the theme of the week in Washington, it is going to focus on the health consequences of what is going on in climate change. It is timely to do so because just recently the…

I come weekly to the Senate whenever we are in session to give my ``Time to Wake Up'' speech, talking about climate change and, quite often, talking about the climate denial campaign that prevents us from taking action and, quite often…

I am pleased to follow the Senator from Minnesota, as because of him I had the chance to be on the HELP Committee during all of those hearings--all of those dozens and dozens of Republican amendments that took place during the vibrant…

I appreciate my colleague's sense of humor. Transparency in Business Ownership Madam President, the United States of America has suffered an unprecedented intrusion into our American Presidential elections. In January, our intelligence…
