Abstract
Citing “almost universal acceptance that our planet is warming,” Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) told an audience at Catholic University’s law school that the smartest path to controlling climate change lies in a combination of new technologies to reduce greenhouse gases, helping developing countries adopt new and cleaner energy sources and bringing economic development to countries facing extreme poverty. A member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, Murkowski’s Brendan Brown Lecture represented the senator’s most detailed statement so far on the issue of planetary warming. “Climate change is real and something we’ll be dealing with throughout our lifetimes,” she said.
