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.
Little Dick Durbin
Tightened his turban,
Opened his mouth to bray.
Along came a “warmer”
And quite an alarmer
And frightened Dick Durbin away.
So ummm, aside from the lack of evidence that CO2 is significantly involved: how is the US doing at curbing CO2 compared to the rest of the world?
As I understand, we’re the only major nation even close to reducing CO2. Is this incorrect?
Re Turban and issues.
We demand that Trump get tough on combating mental illness in Democrats, starting with the Senators and working down the food chain to psychopaths like Maxine Waters, Adam Schif, and Tranny Pelosi.
Trump would need another term just to deal with those lunatics and Congress is full of them.
I wonder what Freud would have said about the Dems if he had witnessed the Kavanaugh hearing, protests, and snide comments by Mad Maxine and friends.
I think he would have said, “They’re all crazy as batshit and need to be locked up for the safety of humanity. I can’t deal with these types of lunatics. Give me a good old schizophrenic/manic depressive any time.”
Yes, by all means, hire that fellow who knows how to slow the rise of the oceans.
Durbin Calls On President Trump And Republicans To Joust With Windmills
Trying to drive a wedge between president Trump and his base.
I would cut off his Co2 output. by taping off his nose and mouth
Durbin, it’s a figment of your fervid imagination.
Perfect pic/response. imho
The simplest and most efficient way to combat gas emissions harmful to the environment would be to curb the flatulence issued by Dick “Turban” Durbin the nonstop Democratic gasbag.
Phony liar lost. He will lose more in November.
Let’s just get one single House member to live environmentally ‘free’ for a year. He would have to make his own moccasins...tend to a garden in Alexandria...ride a bike into work each day...use a 1800s quill-pen....wipe himself with leaves....and sip only tap water.
Yeah Dick, you go out there and throw your fists at the wind and the rain. Combat that climate boy
Dumbass cites vanity science.
After his disgraceful behavior during the Kavanaugh hearing, Durbin would do best to shut up and go away.
Oh are you heavily invested DICK! I bet you and your criminals are!
WTH does that even look like? Every living thing on the planet must die?
Well, it was liquid, and water is liquid, so...
