President Joe Biden warned Americans that the country is paying a high price for the continued extreme weather conditions.
Biden said extreme weather events will cause more than $100 billion in damage this year and underlined his target to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, using just zero-carbon energy 15 years earlier.
President Biden visited California, where widespread wildfires raged
Biden spent Monday in Boise, Idaho, and Sacramento, California, learning about the massive wildfire season and surveying the damage caused by the Caldor fire in the communities around Lake Tahoe.
He sees the threats of climate change, and wants to make sure his government gets the priority it needs.
“We can’t ignore the reality that these wildfires are being supercharged by climate change,”Joe Biden
“We can’t ignore the reality that these wildfires are being supercharged by climate change,” said Biden, who said disastrously bad weather isn’t hitting based on partisan ideology.
This costs the country billions of dollars annually in infrastructure loss.

He was even adamant that when fighting climate change “we have to think big.””Thinking small is a prescription for disaster,” he said.
“Something that is caused by humans can be solved by humans,” President Biden said in Golden.
“The necessity is there, we don’t have a lot of time. " https://t.co/HZCKGYOYfs
