                         GLOBAL WARMING IS REAL

  (Mr. COHEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COHEN. Mr. Speaker, I am dressed in a seersucker suit. Most 
people from the South would recognize that, and traditionally people 
from the country and the South and the fashion industry would say you 
are not supposed to wear seersucker after Labor Day and before Memorial 
Day.

  But this year, according to NASA, is going to be the hottest year on 
record ever since the 1880s, when we started keeping records. Each of 
the first 6 months of the year have been the hottest months in history, 
according to NASA.
  Global warming is real, and we are going to be wearing these 
seersucker suits into October, and we will be starting to wear them in 
April, probably around the first of April to coincide with April Fool's 
Day, because for those people who don't think there is global warming, 
all they have got to do is go out in the weather before Memorial Day or 
after Labor Day in something other than seersucker and they will 
realize that global warming is real.
  Climate change is with us. The oceans will rise; land will disappear. 
Miami Beach is too nice.
