The coronavirus pandemic. Chair neal thank you for joining me. I have the greatest personal and professional regard for the United States conference of mayors. In congress there is a small Alumni Association.

Days of being the mayor of springfield, at the time, the hundred largest city in the country. And i feel a great sense of personal and professional satisfaction from what we were able to do and the immediacy of it. I would start with one funny story because you have all had the same experience. I was in the office one saturday morning, i thought it was a good time to get things done.

Let me list. One, in 2018, the Trump Administration instituted a smaller social cost of carbon of 1 to 7 compared to 50. Its based on two faulty assumptions. First, it uses inappropriately high discount rates that are not supported by economic theory or Financial Markets. Second, it fails to account for damages that occur outside the United States. This failure discourages other countries who in total produce about 90 of total co2 emissions from undertaking emissions cuts that would benefit u. S. Citizens. The United States special role in global democracy can produce demonstrable benefits for u. S. Citizens, and we are failing here. The absence of meaningful progress at the recent madrid climate talks is evidence of what happens when we retreat. Number two, the social cost of carbon is no long
