WASHINGTON – Following the release of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (UN IPCC) report on Monday, U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) today called on President Trump and Congressional Republicans to take immediate action to limit human-induced global warming. In a speech on the Senate floor, Durbin also urged President Trump to rethink his decision to leave the Paris Climate Agreement.
“Last year, President Trump decided that the United States would step away from the rest of the world, step away from our allies and trading partners, and leave this [Paris] agreement. I hope after this week’s announcement from the United Nations, at least someone in the White House will have second thoughts about this disastrous decision,” Durbin said. “We have a moral obligation to our kids and grandkids to leave future generations with a planet that is not plagued by catastrophic droughts, famine, wildfires, hurricanes, and sea-level rise. We have the tools and know-how to do it, it’s time we rise to the challenge.”
Video of Durbin’s remarks on the Senate Floor are available here.

The IPCC report stated that we must reduce global emissions by 45 percent by 2030, and reach net zero emissions by 2050, if we want to avoid a world where deadly storms, unbreathable air, widespread famine, and multi-year droughts are the norm.
Gag this stupid SOB, and there will be an immediate reduction in CO2 levels!
dick gets $.
Seeking Power, they instill fear using LIES.
Hey Durbin, Crap in one hand, Demand in the other, see which one fills up first...
LOL!
Ok, what were you drinking, Windy? Because water dries properly but those frou frou cocktails with the paper umbrellas really kill off your keyboard! Lol.
I would caution you to ascertain which end to gag, but being he's a Democrat, does it really matter?
They want to control the means of production....Communism/power.
Knowing what they are doing, how do we fight back? I have my opinions, but none I would post onlne.
Ummmmmm.......water. Yeah, that's the ticket!
Hey Dick (head),
The Paris treaty was not about global warning...It was about wealth transfer from the American taxpayer to the rest of the world. President Trump got us out of the Paris treaty to save the American taxpayer.
I expect the U.S. will continue to meet our CO2 reduction goals. However, I am not convinced that CO2, at 6 parts per billion in the atmosphere, contributes to global warming.
Also Dick (head), how about explaining how an increase in CO2 impacts Avogadro’s number...
Got Dickie’s phone number. My climate is changing. It’s getting colder here in the Rocky Mountains. I need to report this.
The fools keep tilting at windmills.
Funny....I've got the same affliction...
Shut UP you Ignoramus.
Climate has always changed and it is why we reproduce new species to adapt. BUt the inbred liberals who cannot adapt have métaphores their retarded entitlement parasite mentality with hate of climate change.
Peddle that crap elsewhere Dick. Not interested.
Gonna get colder here too,will have to call dick to explain to me if it is global warming or climate change?
Jeez Turbin Durbin isn’t able to keep the attention going from the Kavanaugh hearings? Old Dick gets the jitters when he isn’t on TV every single day.
