President Biden urges action on climate change and better infrastructure to address it.
The president said scientists realized that the country was facing a ‘code red’ from climate change and the crisis represented an ‘existential threat to our lives.’ as well.
Biden met with local government representatives in Queens and toured flood damage in the morning in Manville, New Jersey.
‘We can stop it from getting worse,’ Biden said, noting that his infrastructure spending would cover problems caused by the storm including paying for ‘flood-proof power stations’ and ‘underground electrical lines.’.
Biden after touring Ida aftermath: "People are beginning to realize this is much, much bigger than anyone was willing to believe. And the whole segment of our population denying this thing called climate change…Even the climate skeptics are seeing that this really does matter." pic.twitter.com/WaPDVsRo6W
