Republicans' Opposition to Climate Funding Intensifies Amidst Extreme Weather and Budget Talks

As millions of Americans suffer from extreme heatwaves and other climate-related disasters, US Republicans are opposing climate funding and measures to address the climate crisis. Republican lawmakers are attempting to block spending provisions focused on climate resilience and environmental justice efforts, including funding for scientific agencies like NASA. House Republicans are also slipping anti-climate provisions into spending bill drafts, aiming to block renewable energy funding and impede federal efforts to tackle the climate crisis. Environmental advocates criticize these actions, highlighting the devastating impact on communities and the lack of support at the federal level.
