We have put together a set of 13 bills, most of which are now bipartisan, to address climate change.

Finally, the revenue raised from the sale of those permits is returned straight to the American people.

It then applies a 'polluter pays' principle by requiring polluters to pay to emit carbon within those caps.

First and foremost, the Healthy Climate and Family Security Act, which places a cap on carbon pollution to align with the recommendations of the IPCC report.

Investing in and supporting our communities and workers by resolving inequities and fostering adaptation, resilience, and relief.

Take an economy-wide and market-oriented approach through policies such as federal investments in tech-inclusive research, development, and deployment, and carbon pricing.

We have three overarching policy priorities: Promote U.S. global leadership on climate and respond to the threat climate change poses to our national security.

I was proud to be asked by Mr. Lowenthal to help co-lead the Safe Climate Caucus, which works to educate all Members on how we can all better address climate change and elevate Member efforts.

I ran on addressing climate change as a central tenet of my candidacy for office and I have tried to be the strongest, clearest voice I can on addressing climate change in Congress.

It is an economic dividend approach, where all of the money is given back to the American people.

U.S. global leadership on climate change and responding to the threat it poses to our national security.

I would try to be the strongest, clearest voice I could be, in my humble way, on climate change.

Congressman Beyer has been a stalwart champion on clean water protections throughout his tenure in Congress.

The stakes are high. We've got to act now.

I'm sure we fooled a couple of people. For instance, what if I had said, instead of go Navy, go beat Army, I had said, it's time to impeach the President? Well, that would be viral everywhere.

My sense is that this Congress won't take up a carbon pricing bill because we're not going to get anywhere in the Senate with it.

I think most of us would agree, you know, every economist across the political spectrum... thinks that we should price the things we don't want as high as we can.

That's why we, as a country, need to take swift action and invest in the research and the tools for identifying and combating deep fakes, and create a national strategy immediately, especially for election integrity, and ahead of the 2020…

Why are you making it harder for the American people to find out how the EPA is making decisions?

You've been a significant improvement on Scott Pruitt where ethics are concerned.

I am dismayed that there is such an overlap between the leadership that you have offered and what the Murray memo says.

I would just like to add a personal perspective. I was raised in Washington, D.C., and I remember fondly my father and mother packing the six kids in the station wagon with the blankets, but it was never a partisan affair. It was about…

I strongly support my friend, Mr. Lieu's amendment. The Constitution bans the very self-dealing behavior that we are seeing this President engage in on a regular basis. President Trump illegally profits every time he and his staff visits…

Donald Beyer called it a nonexistent border crisis.

May I ask how much time I have left. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Virginia has 30 seconds remaining.
