Speaking Monday at the Center for American Progress, Congressman Henry Waxman offered his view on the path we should take to solve the climate crisis: [
“First, preserve the Administration’s existing authorities. While Congress has been debating what to do, President Obama and his Administration have been taking important steps administratively. As a result of the Administration’sleadership, vehicles will be cleaner and more fuel-efficient than ever.”
“Second, we need to educate the public about what is happening in Washington. The Republican anti-science, anti-environment agenda may be the will of oil companies, but it is not what American families want.”
“Finally, we need to find a way to work together across party lines to address the problems of climate change and our dependence on foreign oil.”
