Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman.

All of these efforts are creating the jobs of tomorrow in clean energy, in engineering, in energy efficiency and green building.

So, colleagues, I urge you to defeat this resolution. It is largely a symbolic vote. A ``yes'' vote is one to ignore the costs and consequences of the changing climate, but if it passes, it will also be another low point for this Congress, a Congress that has demonstrated time and again an inability to deal with the complicated and thorny problems that face America. I predict that many will come to regret that legacy.
