CNN correspondent sounds alarm on ‘climate crisis’: 'Fate of life on Earth is at stake'

CNN cllimate correspondent Bill Weir worried American democracy would not withstand a true climate crisis and the fate of the planet hangs in the balance.

Nikolas Lanum is an associate editor for Fox News Digital.

Weir said Biden is currently speaking with lawyers to determine how far he can "stretch" his executive powers to take action, and said that part of the plea by staffers protesting against Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., was to get Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., to change his mind on legislation. 

"This is hung up on an old-fashioned filibuster, sort of recent, made-up American rules, where the fate of life on earth is at stake and doesn’t seem to match," Weir added.
