AI Summary
This Concurrent Resolution expresses the sense of Congress that a climate emergency exists, driven by human activities that increase greenhouse gases, and this emergency poses severe and urgent threats to the economic and social well-being, health, safety, and national security of the United States. It calls for the President to use existing authorities and emergency powers to mobilize the nation's resources and labor on a massive scale to address and prepare for the consequences of this climate emergency for present and future generations.
