To actual temperatures, two things are readily evident. First, temperatures have flat lined over the last 15 years, and secondly, an average of over 100 climate models from the last decade show that the Scientific Community did not predict this would happen. To my knowledge, not a single climate model ever predicted that a pause in Global Warming would ever occur. Senator sessions is going to go deeper into this. The truth completely contradicts the president s statement and begs the question as to why he and the epa not only continue to deny the truth but why it has raced to stop this information from disseminating into scientific record. What im referring to is the administrations effort with other nations to lobby the ipcc to back up the president s statement in the most recent report. And while i did not think the ipcc explanation was sufficient, i have to at least give them credit for recognizing the facts for what they are and that the hiatus has occurred and does exist, is exist
Well now go to senator carper. For years ive been working with my colleagues here in congress and administration and all kinds of stakeholder groups across the country to tackle one of the Biggest Challenges of our generation, and thats Climate Change. I believe Climate Change exists and were living on borrowed time. The longer we wait to address the issue the more damaging and expensive it becomes. Before the recent session we had members from both parties including myself put forth legislative proposals that would grow our economy and provide for a safer climate. This was a time when our Climate Change debates focused on how we would grow our economy and clean our environment. Its not a novel idea in the 1970s and 1990s, republican president s and majority of members on both sides of the aisle supported, as youll recall, the Clean Air Act and the Clean Air Act amendments of 1990. These clean air protections protected our health but allowed our economy to grow exponentially. Unfortuna
2,600 homes came from our own facilities. Gsa is also working to improve our partners understanding of their energy use as directed in the december 2013 president memorandum on federal leadership on energy management, gsa is partnering with the department of energy and epa to prepare a Green Button Initiative that will increase our partners ability to reduce energy consumption, reduce greenhouse emissions and meet sustainability goals. Taken together these efforts have led to a significant reduction in the energy use intensity. In fy 2013, gsa reduced energy usage per square foot by 20. 8 ahead of statutory targets. Since 2011 these reductions saved 192. 7 million in avoided costs. Also in fy 2013, gsa achieved an approximately 50 reduction in Greenhouse Gas emissions, exceeding our 2020 target. This amount of energy we no longer use is enough to power over 60,000 homes for one year. Gsa is also preparing for the potential impacts of Climate Change as part of the president s Climate Ac
Center now open for business but staying away are the adults and children who have not been immunized against the measles. These five cases all under the age of 1. So they were too young below the age where the recommendation is where they become immunized, ten other infants all again under the age of 12 months in the same room. Theyre being closely watched but Public Health officials here say that they suspect there will be more cases as the cook county Public Health director said the cat is out of the bag. There was one earlier case in cook county at the end of last month. And theyre investigating all these cases. Trying to determine where the point of infection was, trying to determine if theyre in any way connected with the outbreak that was centered around disneyland in california. Now, the five infants who have been diagnosed with the measles not hospitalized all being treated at home. And the ten others are being advised by Public Health officials on what to look for. Theyre bei
Word or late word joining us from trump tower. What can you tell us about the romney team and whether hes seriously considering the position is this. Reporter well the suspense continues about how this will all shake out and the final decision. But we are told that mitt romney is seriously considering the possibility of being secretary of state that hes talking it over with his family members. There has been contact between romneys world and trumps world. Which is an indication this is a serious discussion. Not just something that was done from a photo op. Now, to the best of our knowledge. Mitt romney doesnt want to say hes going to accept unless the offer is on the table. Donald trump doesnt want to make the offer unless it is clear mitt romney is going to accept. I am told by sources that mitt romney is a leading candidate. Hes not the only candidate in the mix though. Rudy giuliani is still under consideration for this post. So still a few days of suspense ahead i think john. So sa
