Rep. Edward Markey (D-MA) is convinced that he and other advocates for climate action will be vindicated. “Passage of the Waxman-Markey bill is proof of the inevitable, inexorable pathway that our country is going to take. It’s not a question of if but when this legislation passes. I’m not giving any guarantee that all of this is going to pass this year. But I am giving a guarantee that it is going to pass in the next several years.” The congressman told a Climate One audience in San Francisco on August 13th, 2010, "We have a responsibility to the rest of the world, most of the CO₂ which is up there is red white and blue."
