SRES 550 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A resolution recognizing that climate change is not a hoax, but sound science.

This is a non-binding Senate resolution (SRES 550) affirming scientific consensus on climate change. It states that climate change caused by fossil fuels is "not a hoax" and "sound science," citing historical scientific findings and recent NASA/Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change data. The resolution specifically criticizes the 2025 decision by the Trump administration to dismantle climate research programs and remove the National Climate Assessment. It calls on Congress to protect mandated climate research programs but does not create new laws or affect any individuals or entities. As a symbolic resolution, it has no legal force or direct impact on policy or constituents.
