Biden Wants to ‘Reduce Our Dependence on Fossil Fuels’ to ‘Climate-Proof the World’

TRANSCRIPT:

BIDEN: "Record-breaking heat waves in the United States and China, wildfires ravaging North America and southern Europe. A fifth-year drought in the Horn of Africa. Tragic, tragic flooding in Libya — my heart goes out to the people of Libya — that's killed thousands, thousands of people. Together, these snapshots tell an urgent story of what awaits us if we fail to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and begin to climate-proof the world."
