"Thank you for joining us here in Washington and online today for this critical hearing on the wildfires ravaging the western United States."

"Just to ensure that I have understood, and the rest of the Committee is following along, that is because natural fires that were coming through would have processed and would have taken out trees over..."

"I would assure you our scientists suggest that these western landscapes have an incredible capability to absorb fire and keep on going."

"Climate change is real, it is here, and the failure of this or any committee in Congress to take action will have real human costs."
