But you agree the total numbers are going up.

The Economist said that the concessions made by the United States are more costly and more real than those of China.

India is on its way to becoming the biggest contributor to increases in greenhouse gases within 15 years.

I just want to point out that it was the ranking member of the full committee who blocked the effort to hold the joint hearing.

I wonder if the President signs a unilateral political commitment or agreement in Paris at the end of the year without consulting Congress, what effect the agreement would have domestically and whether it actually holds up long term.

I wonder if you think that it serves the interest of this country to establish a precedent that international commitments are made in a manner designed to torque the constitutionally derived oversight role of Congress, of the United States…

Opponents of U.S. climate action have argued that other nations, especially China, would never act to limit their emissions. Well, now they are.

Today we are examining the objectives and the intentions of the administration's international climate negotiations in Paris, as well as the potential ramifications for the United States.

I would also like to welcome our ranking member, Senator Udall, and our guests today.

International climate change funding may be the top priority for the President, but I will tell you it is not the top priority for the American public.

The United States must lead and set an example for other countries.

Well that is the concern if there is an affect from designating these areas as wilderness if it had an impact on our military training areas.

This bill places over 1.8 million acres in new land designations ranging from new national monuments and wilderness areas to off highway vehicle recreation areas.

Five of these bills make small land adjustments but to make these adjustments it takes, literally, an Act of Congress.

The Subcommittee will come to order. The purpose of today's hearing is to receive testimony on ten bills pending before the Committee.

I believe the EPA proposal ignores the successful 40-year history of in situ recovery projects.

I believe the EPA is once again asserting power over another area of the economy.

I want to thank everyone for being here today as we discuss these important issues.

Does the Obama Administration oppose all legislative efforts to repeal this crude oil ban?

The crisis in Ukraine highlighted the vulnerability of our European allies to increasing reliance on a single dominant supplier for much of its energy supplies.

The Nord Stream pipeline running from Russia to Germany under the Baltic Sea circumvents Eastern Europe.

When you talk about production being hemmed in, of course that means jobs lost in the United States in the oil industry.

The natural process, with significant environmental advantages over the synthetic process, it has always appeared that way to me.

Would you elaborate on the efforts that ANSAC and others in the soda ash industry have taken to eliminate China's rebate?

I strongly disagree with this decision. The Administration should not raise costs on America's soda ash producers without first ensuring that China and other countries scrap their unfair trade practices.
