speeches in congressional history. This was toward the end of Barack
Obamas first term, and Whitehouse, a Democrat from Rhode Island,

same paragraph, Whitehouse recalled recently, in a Zoom interview from

by whatever the current events of the week were, every damn week I was
going to do a speech on climate. He had a poster made up showing the
Earth as seen from space. Next to the planet, the poster said TIME TO
