Senate would acknowledge climate change makes wildfires worse, stressing need for federal action.
This resolution would have the Senate formally recognize that climate change is causing wildfires to be more frequent, intense, and destructive. It would also acknowledge the importance of fully funding and staffing federal efforts to prevent and respond to these fires.
Today, the Senate has not formally acknowledged the direct link between climate change and wildfire risk. Nor has it specifically acknowledged the need for full funding and staffing for federal wildfire efforts in this way. If this resolution passes, the Senate would officially state these acknowledgments.
