There is a growing consensus the days of ignoring this issue are over.

I’m not afraid to talk about climate change. We’re obviously pumping more CO2 into the air, and there’s a thing called the greenhouse effect.

There’s no question that we’re experiencing climate change and that humans are a significant contributor.

I’m a Republican who believes the greenhouse gas effect is real, that climate change is being affected by manmade behavior.

The climate is changing, and we, collectively, have a responsibility to do something about it.
