  The first portion of Alford's opening statement:

  Madam Chairwoman, ladies and gentlemen of the Committee. On behalf of the National Black Chamber of Commerce (NBCC), thank you for the opportunity to address you today.
  I come to you, not as an economist, but with a deep understanding of small and minority-owned businesses and as someone who has experience with consumer behavior.
  Climate change is a vital issue that must be addressed. It will take time and cost real money to mitigate humanity's influence on our climate. The thing that concerns me and many of the 95,000 business members of the National Black Chamber is that any legislation Congress enacts must consider the impact that costs will have on small and minority-owned businesses, their ability to create jobs and the impact on the communities that they serve.

   

  I'm sorry, but where in that does he say that he is speaking on behalf of the entire Black community?

  I don't agree with the findings of his study. I'm just saying I don't agree with the tactics Boxer used to show her disdain for the study Alford was presenting. Seeing as I have been involved in crafting the global warming bill, that I am trying to divide support for the bill is simply not true. I am looking forward to this bill passing. I just don't think what Boxer did was right in this particular situation.

  Christopher S. Johnson, looking back at your past comments on other stories here on Grist it seems like you have a bit of a mean streak in your comments to people. I'm not sure why you think I would call you a racist...or why you're trying to make this so personal. I understand that you have a different viewpoint on this issue, but telling me that I'm "ignorant of the facts," calling me a "troll" and assuming that I lack the logic necessary to properly evaluate what happened during that hearing is, frankly, mean. You could have expressed your position in a different manner (which I would have greatly welcomed, by the way)...you didn't have to try to rip me to shreds. I'm not going to exchange comments on this article anymore since I have said all that I wanted to say. I will be sure to steer clear of any comments you make in the future since I don't like the tactics and tone you use to engage in discussion.
