We had testimony from a NASA scientist that measurements--
not forecasts, not projections, but measurements--in the last 40 years
of sea level rise in South Florida were 5 to 8 inches higher. That is
sea level rise. That is why even the Department of Defense is
concerned. Climate change has the potential to destabilize nations. How
about Bangladesh? It has the potential to drastically reduce potable
water supplies and result in crop loss and food shortage and to create
climate refugees. We simply cannot play fast and loose with the science that will help
save our planet. The top diplomat of our country has to confront the
reality of climate change today and to work on it immediately.
