This resolution would recognize that climate change is real. It states that changes in the climate caused by fossil fuel emissions are proven by decades of sound science and are not a hoax. The text is purely declaratory and symbolic and does not fund programs, create duties, or change regulations.

Show full summary
  • Formally records the Senate’s view that climate change is real; its main effect is symbolic and shapes the Senate’s official record.
  • Does not fund programs, create rules, or impose duties, so it does not directly change services or legal rights for families, workers, seniors, or households.
  • Leaves federal agencies and courts with no new legal obligations stemming from this resolution.
