     SEC. ___. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING CLIMATE CHANGE.

       It is the sense of Congress that--

     the entire worldwide scientific community and a growing 
     number of top national security experts, economists, and 
     others that--
       (A) climate change is real;
       (B) human activities contribute to climate change; and
       (C) climate change has already begun to cause problems in 
     the United States and around the world;
       (2) the Energy Information Administration projects that 
     fossil fuels could continue to produce 68 percent of the 
     electricity in the United States through 2040; and
       (3) it is imperative that the United States invest in 
     research and development for clean fossil fuel technology.
