Climate Crisis Accelerates As Pres. Biden's Plans To Tackle It Stall

As a candidate, President Biden said fighting climate change would create jobs. But as president, there hasn't been much action.

While the effects of the climate crisis — like melting ice caps, rising sea levels and more wildfires — are accelerating, President Joe Biden's plans to tackle it are stalled. 

As a candidate, Biden said fighting climate change would create jobs and jump start clean energy industries like wind and solar. 

"There is no more urgent crisis facing this nation or the world than the threat posed by climate change," he said in a campaign video. "We can deal with this problem; we just have to act."
