                   THE BIRTHERS AND DENIERS ARE WRONG

  (Mr. INSLEE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. INSLEE. Mr. Speaker, the President is right to go to Copenhagen 
and lead the world against global warming. He is right to defeat the 
birthers who have tried to stop him from being President and the 
deniers who refuse to accept the fact of global warming. Both the 
birthers and the deniers refuse to accept clear, pure facts.
  I just read that a former Governor of Alaska was arguing today in a 
newspaper that there is no such thing as global warming associated with 
human activity. She needs to read the National Academy of Sciences 
report which concludes it is a fact. She needs to read the report of 
NASA--the people who put the men on the Moon--that concludes this is a 
fact. She needs to read the NOAA reports about acidification of the 
ocean which shows it is a fact.
  The birthers and the deniers are wrong. We should restore American 
leadership and make sure the jobs of the future clean energy economy 
are here, not just in China. The President is right; the deniers are 
wrong yet again.
