We have never seen this before. And many of his followers and many of his supporters in Congress maintain that lie as well.

If we can do what has never been done, Chris, and that is take on the greed of the pharmaceutical industry, they have never lost.

If anybody here thinks the corporate America gives one damn about the average American worker, you`re mistaken.

We should levy an annual tax on net wealth from 1 percent to as high as 8 percent.

Delay is costly. Taking carbon out of the atmosphere is far more expensive than not putting it into the atmosphere in the first place.

If we do nothing, the effects of climate change will lead to the deaths of 1.5 million people across the globe every single year.

The debate is over. The scientific community has spoken in a virtually unanimous voice. Climate change is real.

The cost of inaction, of not combating climate change, will be far, far more expensive in every way than transforming our energy system away from fossil fuel.

We are talking about millions of people dying unnecessarily.

We have been treating scarce resources, our environment, our water, our air, as if they were free. But there is no such thing as a free lunch.

Doing something about climate change could be a real boon for the economy.

This so-called hoax threatens to destroy our food and water supply, flood our cities and towns, and displace millions of people from their homes.

In the end, sadly, history is likely to judge the actions of the CEOs of fossil fuel companies as causing more death and more human misery than the tobacco industry.

We are literally talking about the future of this planet.

In my view, we have got to make it clear to the fossil fuel industry that their short-term profits are not more important than the future of our planet.
