While Senator Schatz discussed plans for the new Senate Climate Committee, Republican Senator Mike Lee presented his solution for rising sea levels, a fleet of sea horses that would connect Hawaii with the mainland.

Hawaii's congressional delegation were not amused, as were few others, with many describing the stunt as one of the most bizarre ever witnessed on the Senate floor.
After Lee’s presentation, Hawaii’s senators weren’t laughing.
In fact, U.S. Sen. Brian Schatz took to the Senate floor to excoriate Lee on the spectacle.
“This is the crisis of our generation, but this is not a joke,” said Schatz, D-Hawaii.
“I have to say on behalf of everyone in Hawaii, on behalf of young people who care about this ... this isn’t funny. And this requires the party in charge of the United States Senate to take it seriously.”
U.S. Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, was also left incensed.
