Biden to make push to combat climate crisis while surveying wildfire damage on West Coast
CNN
President Joe Biden on Monday will survey wildfire damage on the West Coast and argue recent extreme weather events underscore the urgency of his economic agenda and making investments in the nation's infrastructure to combat the climate crisis, a White House official told CNN.
"During the trip, President Biden will see firsthand the significant physical, human, and economic costs of the wildfires," the official said. "As one in three Americans are impacted by the increasing frequency of ferocity of extreme weather events, he will reiterate the message he shared on the east coast last week: the climate crisis is a code red." The official continued: "He will make clear that these extreme weather events require bold, ambitious, and decisive action -- now."More Related News
