SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON PUBLIC HEALTH AND CLI-
MATE CHANGE. 
(a) FINDINGS.—The United States Global Change 
Research Program Climate and Health Assessment states 
that— 
(1) the impacts of human-induced climate 
change are increasing nationwide; 
(2) rising greenhouse gas concentrations result 
in increases in temperature, changes in precipitation, 
increases in the frequency and intensity of some ex-
treme weather events, and rising sea levels; 
(3) these climate change impacts endanger our 
health by affecting our food and water sources, the 
air we breathe, the weather we experience, and our 
interactions with the built and natural environments; 
and 
(4) as the climate continues to change, the risks 
to human health continue to grow. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that— 
(1) climate change is real; 
(2) human activity significantly contributes to 
climate change; 
(3) climate change negatively impacts health;
