Summary

An unidentified participant on the Senate Environment and Public Works committee record objected to a Rhode Island resolution. Another speaker summarized the resolution’s three points: that climate change is real, climate science is sound, and research on future risks should continue. No vote is recorded.

An unidentified speaker objected to a Rhode Island resolution during a short exchange on the Senate Environment and Public Works committee record, saying they could not "go along with my, colleague from Rhode Island's, resolution here" and adding, "And for that reason, I object."

A second unidentified speaker then summarized what the resolution sought to affirm, listing three points: "1, climate change is not a hoax. 2, climate science is actually sound science. And 3, we shouldn't turn off our research headlights that tell us what's coming at us." The speaker framed the resolution as a request that members accept those basic facts before moving forward.

The exchange in the transcript contains no recorded motion beyond the objection and no vote or further procedural outcome. The discussion as recorded centered on whether the committee could agree on the resolution's factual premises rather than on amended policy language or implementation steps.

Because the transcript does not identify either speaker by name or title and records no formal vote or referral, the record shows an objection and a restatement of the resolution's aims but no resolution of the objection or subsequent action.
