    This week, Senator Whitehouse delivered his 150th "Time to Wake Up"
    speech on the Senate floor. Since the Spring of 2012, he has spoken
    out every week the Senate is in session about Congress's urgent duty
    to push back against the fossil fuel industry, heed the growing
    scientific consensus, and take action to the reduce carbon pollution
    that is driving unprecedented changes to our planet's climate. In
    today’s speech, he encourages President-elect Trump to listen to the
    voices of reason and expertise in our military and our scientific
    agencies, not to the industry lobbyists and front groups working to
    undermine science and deny the harmful effects of our carbon pollution.

    Rep. Richard Gephardt states that the US must work with the Soviet
    Union on addressing international environmental issues such as the
    ozone layer and greenhouse gas emissions, noting, "The problem we've
    had with these issues is not that we don’t know what to talk about;
    the problem we’ve had is that America hasn’t been a leader."
