Boxer comments on Global Warming impacts report

Sen. Barbara Boxer last week made the following remarks regarding a comprehensive scientific report on current and pending impacts of global climate change in the United States.

The report, "Global Climate Change Impacts in the United States," was released last week by the Obama Administration, according to a news release from Boxer's office.

"This report underscores what the world's scientists have been telling us for years -- that unchecked global warming is already threatening our health, our environment and our economy in every region of our nation," Boxer said.

"The findings released today add urgency to the growing momentum in Congress for legislation that cuts global warming pollution, creates millions of clean energy jobs and whole new industries, and breaks our dependence on foreign oil."
