Biden During His Fla. Visit: ‘Nobody Intelligent Can Deny the Impact of a Climate Crisis Anymore’

TRANSCRIPT:

BIDEN: "I want to reiterate that appreciation today. I also convened my entire cabinet as part of a whole-of-government response, and that response is to increase the number and intensity of the extreme weather events and be wary — we’re going to use all the resources available for the government to do it. Nobody can deny the impact of climate crisis. At least nobody intelligent can deny the impact on the climate crisis anymore. Just look around, around the nation and the world for that matter. Historic floods, intense droughts, extreme heat, deadly wildfires, wildfires that have caused serious damage like we’ve never seen before. Just since being president, in two and a half years, I’ve flown over more land burned to the ground as a consequence of wildfires than occupy the state — or the entire land of the state of Maryland. From down in New Mexico and Alabama, over to Montana and around, it’s been devastating."
