Congress accepts the scientific findings of the Environmental Protection Agency that climate changes is occurring, is caused largely by human activities, and poses significant risks for public health and welfare.
— Wording of an amendment to a bill that “would have put the chamber on record backing the widely held scientific view that global warming is occurring and humans are a major cause,” reports The Hill, which was soundly defeated by the House of Representatives by a near party-line vote of 184 to 240. The only Republican to vote for the amendment was Rep. Dave Reichert (R-WA), while three Democrats voted against it.
