Sen. Adam Schiff participated in an event at Lake Tahoe aboard a research vessel to measure the lake's clarity using a Secchi disk. This activity is part of ongoing research by the UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center, which has been monitoring the clarity of Lake Tahoe since 1968. The Tahoe Summit is an annual gathering for lawmakers and community leaders aimed at promoting environmental protection and collaboration. Schiff criticized the ongoing funding cuts for climate change research, asserting the detrimental impact on scientific efforts amid current policy directions.
Schiff emphasized that the current administration is cutting funding for climate change research, causing significant pressure on scientific efforts, stating, "It's all under enormous financial pressure now because so much of the science funding has been impounded and cut."
During the Tahoe Summit, lawmakers and community leaders convened to advocate for environmental protections, with Schiff addressing the need for increased bipartisan collaboration and federal investment.
