Clean air and a healthy climate benefit all of us, but it will take a diverse coalition to step up to the threat posed by unchecked climate change.

I am joining the hundreds of thousands who shall be marching in the Virtual March on Washington to Stop Global Warming in order to demonstrate the concern that we all hold for the future of our planet and all the living things - flora, fauna, human and animal - that exist upon it.

Once upon a time, I was a climate-change skeptic.

I believe that climate change represents one of the greatest threats to our national security and our planet.

As a conservative, I maintain a healthy skepticism of the theory of man-made global warming. I also believe that more people enjoying the fruits of modernity and economic development is a good thing - as long as those people arrived legally and obey the law.

Every day is Earth Day, and I vote we start investing in a secure climate future right now.

I don't believe that there is anybody who denies climate change in the Democratic caucus. Everybody accepts that it is a real problem.

I care about climate change because of our children. I want to safeguard their future.

I can trace my environmentally-friendly lifestyle back to my childhood. My father was a conservative Republican that liked to 'conserve'.

I ran for Congress because I want to make sure others have the same chance at the dream that I had for generations to come.
