It is probably the most warned of hazard that we have ever seen, but because the fossil fuel industry has got so much of our Congress locked up in its grip we have not responded to those warnings.

We all know that it is going to change our physical world. We all know that it is going to raise sea levels.

CBO...did a prediction of American health care costs were going to rise, which is this top line.

The previous administration took many actions to hurt the clean energy industry.

The United States had been the obstacle. The United States had been the laggard. The United States had been the spoiler.

It is a lasting face of America for the people in the country who were bullied through this process.

We are at this point engaged in a planetary experiment to create physical, biological, and chemical changes in the way earth operates that are unprecedented in human history.

I think this is important, not just because of the beneficial ownership reform that we did, but because there is a larger, in my view, clash of civilizations happening in the world.

It is a critical national security priority for us to do everything we can to degrade that dark economy so that the kleptocrats and the criminals and the autocrats do not find shelter in our rule-of-law sanctuaries.
