This concurrent resolution expresses congressional opposition to Trump administration policies that expand fossil fuel production and restrict climate science. The resolution characterizes these actions as creating a health and safety emergency that disproportionately harms children by increasing greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, and extreme weather events while simultaneously suppressing access to climate research data and information. The sponsors argue that the administration's policies violate constitutional protections of children's fundamental rights to life and liberty, noting that children are particularly vulnerable due to their developing bodies and longer lifespans of exposure to climate impacts. The resolution calls on Congress and the Trump administration to reverse executive orders that promote fossil fuels, restore the Environmental Protection Agency's regulatory mission, reinstate climate science data on government websites, and adopt energy policies that protect children's constitutional rights and reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. Because this is a concurrent resolution rather than a bill, it expresses the sense of Congress but does not create law or require any specific funding or implementation.
