Markey also had the honor of Chairing the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming during the 110th and 111th Congresses.

A Post-Sandy Plan for Climate Change: Protect, Prepare, Prevent
But in Sandy's wake must be a wake-up call. Climate change is no longer some far off issue. It's at our doorstep right now. We must consider how to address the underlying factors that are fueling these extreme weather events.
For a superstorm like Sandy to occur so late in the storm season, reach such fury, and have the kinds of flooding impacts that we are seeing, is consistent with what scientists have told us we should expect due to global warming.
Two reports I released in the last few months have detailed climate change's effect on extreme weather and in New England.

(84,057 posts)On the gun issue, I dont care what your position is I called 17 senators out, 9 of whom were Republicans, he added. Not one of them offered an explanation on the merits of why they couldnt vote for the background check. But almost to a person, they said, I dont want to take on Ted Cruz. I dont want to take on Rand Paul. Theyll be in my district.
I actually said, Are you kidding? These are two freshman, Biden added. This is a different, party folks. Theyre not bad guys, and theyre both very bright guys. And Im not questioning their motive.
Ed Markey~ Senate 2013!!!!!

(298,021 posts)They've got the biggest sociopathic mouths that shows no shame as to what lies and hate comes out of them.
So glad VP Biden is out there telling it like it is. Cruz and Rand would be who Gomez would suck up to if he ever got in the Senate.

(84,057 posts)-- and win -- in all corners of the country." -- ABC News, 6/16/2013
The Chairman of the Republican National Committee thinks they can swoop in in the final week of this race and pull out a win.
We won't let it happen.
Dont make the same mistake Democrats made in 2010, when a late poll showed our candidate up by 17 points. National Republicans swarmed into Massachusetts in the final week, winning an upset victory that let them throw a huge wrench in the President's agenda for years to come.
There's only one thing that can stop that ugly history from repeating itself: You.
We've only got 6 days left. And we need the resources to make each of them count. Help us hit the final $250,000 goal of this election. Pitch in what you can -- even if it's $5 -- right now.
There's much we've been able to achieve in the short run of this special election. And we can't afford to stop now.
Let's end this race as strong as we started it -- give what you can today.
Thank you for all of your support.
Ed
I plan to donate again, Cha. We can't let this happen is right!
We need to get out and Vote. Everyone that I have talked to family and friends are going! We are going to do this!
Kicked and Recommended!
Cha
(298,021 posts)I'll donate again, too.. to show Ed Markey that Dems from All Over the Country Support him!
