AB There  is  unambiguous  scientific  evidence  that  climate  change  is  occurring  and  widespread  scientific  consensus  that  climate  change  is  anthropogenic.  In  recent  years,  global  climate  change  has  resulted  in  increased  frequency  and  intensity  of  adverse  weather  events  including  heat  waves,  droughts,  wildfires,  extreme  weather  events,  and  flooding.  These  events  have  affected  all  regions  of  the  United  States,  resulting  in  economic  costs  in  the  billions  of  dollars  and  extensive  health  impacts  that  are  projected  to  increase  if  environmental  changes  continue  to  occur  with  under-mitigated  carbon  release.
