A resolution recognizing that climate change-driven extreme weather events are increasing at the same time that the government is dismantling weather monitoring and alert systems.

This Senate resolution states that climate change drives and worsens extreme weather such as hurricanes, flooding, and heavy rainfall. It notes that the National Weather Service has lost more than 550 employees since January 2025 and that the administration has sought $2.2 billion in budget cuts to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The resolution would have the Senate acknowledge that climate change drives life-threatening extreme weather and mourn lives lost to these events. It would also acknowledge a need to fund weather monitoring and alert systems and to staff the National Weather Service. The resolution does not itself provide funding or change any law.
