- October 4 | Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) delivers his 290th speech on the Senate floor urging his colleagues to wake up to the threat of climate change. Whitehouse highlights the economic costs of the recent climate-driven disasters across the country and how the Senate Budget Committee has put a spotlight on the need to act.
3 cheers for Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, a true statesman. END CITIZENS UNITED
END THE CORRUPTED SUPREME COURT OF THE
UNITED STATES!
The Right-Wing Corruption in the court ALLOWED DARK MONEY with the
CITIZENS UNITED DECISION
if we're being fair, we should probably put everyone involved in drafting and passing Citizen's United on trial for crimes against humanity and then make sure they go out like Ghadaffi. But the world isn't fair, so just burning it from history and preventing anything like it from ever passing again should be fine.
Expand the Extreme Court!!!
@@MarthaJones-v5pexpand congress too. The population has tripled since the last expansion- so we actually have 1/3 representation we did 100 yrs ago. Think about that.
Thank you, Senator Whitehouse for being the best and most motivated progressive next to Bernie Sanders. The rest of the democratic congress needs to step it up and get with the program, as you are a leader.
You’re the best Senator Whitehouse!!
For propaganda maybe. The major thing missing in his lecture is he has not shown any no proof that FF causes CC. If such a science paper existed he would include it.
Again, spot on Sen. Whitehouse. Our government keeps throwing BILLIONS in disaster relief at everything rather than address the actual problem(s)!!!!!
Senator Whitehouse is a Power House!! Thank you, Mr. Whitehouse!!
Senator Whitehouse! We are so grateful for your service!
Thank you Senator Whitehouse for keeping this subject in the forefront. It effects everyone.
Thank you Mr. Whitehouse for all you do.
As a registered Republican of CT,
I agree with Senator Whitehouse and I wish that more Republicans would stop saying that climate change is a hoax because in reality, it isn’t. And I wish they would start taking climate change seriously. I hope Republicans across the country especially in CT will start taking climate change seriously and stop saying it’s a hoax.
I hear the republicans are making good progress on "woke" though. That ought to count for something
A lot of the GOP orthodoxy on climate change denial is based on fossil fuel company campaign dollars.
Having a difficult time understanding why Kerry wants so much Government money for climate.❓ Just regulate and make Big Oil pay.
STOP ‘WISHING’ and start voting for candidates that do believe in climate change and WILL do something about it. You will have to leave your party if your words & wishes are to believed by the rest of us!
But they won't because lining their pockets with corporate cash is the priority. People with no integrity.
Thank you Senator Sheldon Whitehouse for your XLNT persistence!!👏👏👏🙏
I love this guy- I would vote for him. I am sitting here today a mile from the ocean in a super rare 84 degrees. Average temp 60. Anyone who doesn’t believe in global warming just doesn’t want to.
Ten degrees higher daily here to🤠🌡️
86 here today at 3.000 feet in the Sierra Nevada. 15 degrees F above the long term average.
What will happen in my lifetime is horrifying, and that's to say nothing of the next generations. The climate crisis poses an existential threat to our civilization and lives. It's disturbing how few people care.
Thank You Senator Whitehouse for Everything that you do for us/we the people! You aRe, an Incredible Human Being! Not just Being, like most unfortunately But A Human Doing. We know you are doing everything that You can everyday(Especially concerning climate change)on behalf of the world’s population.
Thank You
Thank You
Thank You
❤️Jacqueline
This Senator is really truthful. Wish for more like him - and VOTE - like your future depends on it!
Never heard so much propaganda. Clues you should listen to in his lecture are "since records began" and "unprecedented". Records that only back a few decades, bad weather events being labeled climate. No evidence that CO2, the trace gas of life, causes climate change in 450,000 years of ice core data, he blames FF for climate change.
Thank you so much Senator Whitehouse for ALL YOU DO!!
Sen. Whitehouse for President!!!
Thank you senator!
Thank you for being so steady and advocate for Americans.
Thank you Senator Whitehouse! The consequences of climate change will affect your children & grandchildren. Is $$$ more important?
It will affect you too. Arctic is almost ice free
In American politics, yes, money is more important! 😢😢😢😢
Thank you for speaking out for our futures!
Thank you for pointing all this out to a bunch of "Well-Oiled" Republicans who will not listen - or care.
This is so true. For 23 years I lived without central air in my house. This year I had to have it installed because it just got too hot in my house. Before I was okay with a window unit in my bedroom to sleep at night. Now, I couldn't sit in my house without sweating and I did not want to lock myself in my bedroom to survive!!
Daily temps up ten degrees here🌡️🤠
Thank you, Senator Whitehouse.
I love this man. Why didn’t God guided me to white houses. So eloquent, so dedicated, and so responsible.
He is GREAT
Been driving All Electric Vehicle (not a Tesla) since 2012. Having trouble with getting into my next upgrade on these EV, while now challenged by a multitude of vendor providing charging stations with expensive and competitive apps to be downloaded with their our markets. PS I participated in the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Urgent Evoke events in 2010 and became a founder as I work daily to address the health and financial impacts of climate change. Senator Whitehouse keep up your educational efforts.
Can you explain why Climate costs so much money. Kerry is asking for hundreds of billions. Can't Big Oil be tapped to pay? Dark money and lobbies on K, R, S and T Streets into Supreme Court🛑❤️🩹🤮
How greed kills. Deadly sin for a reason.
All those empty seats while this man speaks the truth!! Where the hell are all the other Senators??!! Just goes to show you how much our representatives care!!
I believe CSPAN is on in offices and often the chamber speeches are heard in the halls if that's any consolation.
@@jannichi6431Sorry. Not.
Ask yourself, when did politicians have the power of gods to prevent bad weather? Just maybe those Senators missing from the floor, understand that they can do many things, like make law and raise taxes, but the power to control the climate is beyond their power.
One half of them know that Whitehouse is not telling the truth and the other half are in conference brainstorming new ideas to either distract us from reality or dig themselves and their fellow constituents out of a hole they been digging for themselves because of all their fraud.
Senator Whitehouse.
In the WhiteHouse 2024
He tells it like it is. Call it out.
Thank you Senator Whitehouse
2028, IF he wants it❓
Thank you for giving voice to this for so many of us.
I absolutely agree 100%. But believe it or not, I actually experienced an unusually cold and rainy June this year. You are by far one of my favorite Senators! I love how you have your own series on Supreme Court corruption and Climate Change! 👏👏👏👏
Roe vs Wade now that was corruption. Vote Patricia Morgan, this buffoon got to go!
The hottest September on record, heading to the hottest year on record.
We were warned in the 1980’s.
It’s a travesty.
Thanks for being relentless, Senator Whitehouse. Your documentation is essential.
Dr Edward Teller warned Big Oil and Wall Street in 1959. Simple science.
:) Yeah. We've had our warnings over the generations, haven't we. >.< April 22nd, 1970 was declared the first Earth Day in the USA and elsewhere around the world back when I was a sophomore in high school. (sigh...) Oh well, "Nobody misses the water until the well runs dry." But listen to an old teenager and keep your eyes peeled. There's oligarchs around the world, both foreign and domestic, who are very busy buying up private rights to fresh water resources everywhere even as I type this comment.
That tells me everything I need to know about the future for average citizens everywhere, especially those living in the US and Canada who happen to straddle the largest freshwater resource on planet Earth. I've got great-grandchildren who are going to have to live through whatever chaos comes to pass. That's why I support Senator Whitehouse and I wish he would run for President because I'd vote for him in an instant if given the opportunity.
@@JustMe-vk4fn How great for you and your great grands around the Great Lakes. Problem is, billions of other people will suffer, and what are you going to do when they find out about all your fresh water? Many might say "God Is Great" (Allah u ackbar) as they conquer one lock after another.
The earth is too delicate. You don't know. Everyone could die. Greed is NOT good. You can't prove me wrong.
We are emerging from a mini iceage that ended in 1850. Every year is going to be hotter than the last on average.
@@Sjb-on5xt The people that started that rumor are known liars, but they demand we believe them. Like they've got their fingers in their ears, yelling "BLAH BLAH BLAH", thinking they will never be held to account.
Problem is, we can see that they have reason to lie - they get rich doing it. The suckers that repeat the lies think they won't ever need to pay the consequences for defending the rich. They are sowing the wind, and they will reap the whirlwind.
290th appearance on Climate Change. :) Your persistence is impressive Senator Whitehouse.
I wish our media paid attention to the *sane* members of Congress a little more often and I bet you do too.
290th appearance on climate change, but has he provided any proof that FF causes climate change. Surely if such a scientific paper existed, he should at least include it, don't you think?
We’re destroying what was given us.
Evidently our politicians are more concerned with being politicians than being concerned by those that got them elected.
So well presented the already happening horrors of the consequences of climate change. Thank you for your unceasing important work Senator Whitehouse
Thank you senator whitehouse
Wow, that hit hard. good message.
Thank you Sir! Sen Manchin the DINO! He collects the most money of all of them from Big Oil. Thank you for reminding the public about these issues.
making big corps pay for carbon pollution would not be effective unless they are fined $1billion for each offense. we have too much tender tapping of hands of offenders of water polluters, etc. and other white collar crime. it's ridiculous!
Thank you for trying to protect our planet my friend but I’m afraid 😱 it falls on deaf ears. We must not give up.
We are already at the tipping point due to the perma frost heating up and releasing gases. As we are now distracted by the calamity of the American government we are all distracted from the fact that our house is on fire.
And Chem Trails has nothing to do with causing any abnormality in our weather? Maybe you should look into that. I haven't heard anything that Patricia Morgan has said about climate change. But she is running against Whitehouse. Ask her she cares more about the real issues than this buffoon does. Now that it is election season I noticed a video dated for 5 days ago concerning a title that might relate to reality. But in the meant time since he has been holding office, he's been advocating for lobbyists in relation to climate change. That is probably where he makes his extra money. But that money to him isn't dark money but is it really. If he is pointing out a lot of facts but not pointing out other facts he is lying. The US has the toughest emission standards just about in the world but he's extorting Americans as he doesn't take what he claims to stand for to those that are the real polluters. Get real!!
Keep going Senator Whitehouse and thank you
I would hate to see his Statesman Ship leave the Senate - But I nominate Sheldon Whitehouse
for president of the USA!
For non belivers, please look at NOAAs Sea Level Rise interactive map. Add 1 ft, 2 ft and then look at coastal cities. Scary much? Yes.
Could be time to nationalize fossil fuels, whatcha think?
because of west virginia v epa case there is NO Carbon Price set by EPA regulations there are NO regulations currently on Carbon production and price per ton 00.000
KNOW Your LEADERS,..
Do NOT forget to VOTE,...
VOTE like yer Life depends on it.
This Senator is higly intelligent and has gravitas. 👍👍👍👍👍
So sad to see just about nobody in the room. I guess this is what’s needed to get things “on the record”
Keep up the good work Senator!
It's late for me but want to say thank you for your good effort. Agree with you.
🙏🏻 Thank you so much, Sen. Whitehouse for your tireless, vocal and highly competent fighting to the benefit of fighting climate change and sustainability!
Hot: cheap. Extinction: priceless
Thanks, Mr. Whitehorse, it is rare to see such sanity from a governing body.
Thank you again Sean Whitehouse.
Excellent Senator thank you!
These are so helpful!
Thank you, Sir. Doesn’t get enough attention as the most significant threat to humankind
I wanted to add my voice to the others who recognise and appreciate all your hard work. My voice is tiny but you give me hope that all of our tiny voices joined with just enough of the powerful voices, will save our beautiful and irreplaceable planet.
Congratulations I would vote for you Sir if I'd be US citizen
Senator Whitehouse is what a Senator should be! Outstanding!!! Unfortunately we have known for decades to stop burning fossil fuels, destroying the forests and completely eliminating nature throughout the planet. TOO LATE !!!!! Good luck young people.
Hit fossil fuels where it hurts. Take away all funding and cancel all land leases.
Thank you for your efforts and I am trying too! Don't give up.
Your an awesome very detail informative Information senator keep on pressing your way.
Let no one stop you from talking there are some things needed to be research and publicly to come out now
I enjoy it
You might think about running for President
How can we get dark money out of government?
Senator i read the Canada wildfire smoke this year was 3 times canadas annual carbon budget, presented like "oooo big wildfire makes big carbon". But what i see is the loss of unusually large amounts of the worlds forests, representing centuries of natural carbon sequestration, well one country emits a third of that unnaturally every single year. How is this not obvious.
Grasslands and their soils are also great carbon absorbers. Quick recovery too from flood and fire.
Let's adopt Native American values. Such good stewards
Of Nature.🏞️🗳️💙
@@jannichi6431 native american soils are as far ahead of european ag as potatoes and tomatoes were in particular the permanent matrix of carbon and pottery sherds that comprise terra preta. If we learn the old ways we could be saved. I doubt that if can be met.
Whitehouse makes it so simple to understand the GQP maga might be able to understand it.
So much money was wasted when RICHEST people got their TAX CUTS, and then they did nothing to protect our country.
Smart man.
Aw c'mon Senator - how else is Congress going to fund their private bunkers in New Zealand?
Love this guy!
Also, can you imagine a more perfect name to run for president? :)
We just had a guest from India stay with us here in the mountains of California. In the last two years, we’ve dealt with heatwaves and tree dieoffs and droughts and failing water wells and wildfires burning down over 120 houses in our town. Then last winter we had record rains following by so much snow that houses and garages were collapsing along with many thousands of trees. We both feel that we are living in the epicenter of climate change. She mentioned heatwaves so intense that her relatives fear for their lives. The human and economic costs of burning fossil fuels are rapidly increasing. 40% of the people who lost homes to wildfires in our town were retired on fixed incomes and did not have insurance. The costs of power outages and fireproofing homes and clearing downed trees and drilling deeper wells is huge. We can spend hundreds of billions to move away from fossil fuels or many trillions to Exxon’s fires, floods and droughts.
We got the smoke from the Canada 🍁 fire 🔥 here in Washington state it was so bad. I couldn’t even see the hills,I would’ve normally seen. The 💨 was so bad! We get a lot of fires here in my town and all around us it seems too be yearly. You definitely can’t breathe when you step outside. I have asthma and multiple other health issues, makes it hard to go outside most of the time. Thank you again Senator, White House. I’m for CLEAN AIR. 🌻🌈☀️🐶🐸🦋🪱🐞🦋🦀🐳🐪🌳
Forest fires are not a new thing.
I heard lazer beams started those fires, just like in Hawaii.
You seem to be a brave man - why not brave enough to tell your people that they are done? It's too late - *and you know it.*
Notice there are no senators in the seats listening! It's all for the show. The words don't even have an effect on any of their cohorts.
That's because his presentation doesn't provide any proof that CO2 from FF causes climate change. Belief is not science.
Don't you think that if such a scientific paper existed we wouldn't hear the last of it, would be included?
Please go for president of USA
Mammon Hall. Fall on your knees.
Senator Whitehouse, I would move to Rhode Island, just so you could be my senator (although I'm pretty sure Rhode Islanders wouldn't have me) 😆
thank you . . . now if we could only get you a wider audience.
[ i hope you're not doing this just you can tell everybody "i told you so, but you wouldn't listen" ]
"highest temperatures on record". Records that only go back a few decades for most weather stations 75% are located in urban heat islands only represents 2% of the land mass in mostly Northern Hemisphere. There is no climate crisis. The Holocene (10,000BC to 4,000BC) was on average 2C warmer than today's heady record readings. The records are taken from the lowest recorded temperature in 1850AD.
Where are the people who “work” here? Aren’t they supposed to be there listening to this important information. Where are they??? Perhaps they are out on their yacht 🛥️ counting their money 💰 nobody is minding the store!
All this info goes right over their heads. We got Feinstien who didnt know where she was for years, Mitch McConnell staring down the grim reaper in live TV interviews, and Lauren Bobert too busy making out with dudes. 😢
A train wreck is happening before our eyes and all we can do is watch . Acceptable or not? I think it time to stop the wreck that happening now. Damn your politics.. We can’t stop trying because it’s hard. What choose is there? Anyone remember the dustbowl? It’s here, times …. What? Thank you senator. Who else???
🤯🤯🤯
If only government would listen to Sen. Whitehouse. Like if only voters would have listened to Bernie Sanders or if voters would have voted harder for Clinton. Yup, if only…
🔥🔥🔥🔥2024 is projected to be much worse than 2023. Paul Beckwith has a video explaining James Hansen's new paper "... watming in the pipeline"
Sen.Whitehouse how do you know the dark money doesn't come from foreigner. Maybe it's not all American millionaires or billionaires but why you can't follow the money???
Short sell: the global ecosystem is actively breaking- if it were a car with 2 flats, would you drive the shit out of it on 2 good tires or you wanna fix it and continue the journey?
Where are the rare earth minerals to come from needed for the transition from FF to "clean" energy? And presuming we achieved this unicorn energy solution, would it make any difference to climate change or stop bad weather?
Prof Mark Mills says at present rates of mining, processing and refining would take 400 years just for 1st generation of wind, solar, EV cars and batteries, that would need replacing after 15 years.
The horror "movie" will not end. You will not be able to exit. You will succumb to this existential crisis and at a point coming very soon, no one will be able to save you. No one. Weep when you realize there is no future for neither you nor your children. All this horror is due to greed. The death spiral of the insignificant poor means nothing to the filthy rich while they walk on YOUR dead flesh and bleached bones.
Just read The Book of Revelation. Same thing.
Hey Democrats!! Wake up. Here is a good younger candidate for the President of the US. Why don't you start developing younger hard working, thinking, people who are willing to take on the shitty jobs of governing this failing country.
But does he want it? That's the question.
I appreciate your passion and honesty, but no-one has yet highlighted the most telling indicator of climate collapse due to fossil fuel burning and the "greenhouse effect": melting glacial and sea ice across all of our 200,000 glaciers. Last year we lost 1.2 TRILLION TONS of glacial/sea ice, and this does not include the permafrost melting. So, 3.5 BILLION TONS PER DAY. Why is this important beyond the sea level rise? Ice absorbs 344 BTUs PER GRAM as it melts. The geophysicists predict ALL of this ice may be gone in 77-110 yrs., then our global AC will be gone, as water can only hold 1/80th the amount of heat as ice. Venus 2.0?
*Love 💙 Senator Whitehouse!*
*Vote Blue! ☑ everywhere!*
Is Mr. White House the only person doing his job. He presents pertinent issue. I don’t see any other dedicated congressperson. Rest are warriors fighting for positions. No issues.
Dems speak up. PLEASE GET LOUD OFTEN🗣️💙🇺🇲
well sheldon, my dad always told me, throw enuf manure on the side of the barn and some of it is liable to stick. i hope your pitchin arm dont get sore.
Whitehouse ain't pitchin' manure. Deniers are liars. Liars go to hell (Rev 22:15). Your dad sounds like he was covered in manure and you too.
Have you tried subliminal messaging yet? We could probably get Ted Cruz over to the UAE with The Coors Light Bikini Girls if they don’t pay for it 😂
Isn't he creepy.
Support Colin Allred🗳️💙🤑
Looks like he’s talking to nobody- even the few who are there aren’t paying attention
Who profits from Fossil fuel?? We all do at different levels.
My electric bill doubled since COVID. We all PAY, not profit.
Some make a short term profit. No, we all lose. Some lose worse than others.
Pooten 🌡️is the single greatest contributor, to temperature change, in my mind, Between the daily missiles and his Artic ice cap breakups and drilling all the more reason to Support Ukraine sovereignty. 💛💚❤️🤍💙🏞️
America could stop him if we cared. Fossil Fool investors love Putin. $6.79 for diesel where I live. EVs rock.
