US President Joe Biden has announced a $2.3bn investment to help build infrastructure that can withstand extreme weather and natural disasters.
He said the new funding would go to expanding flood control, shoring up utilities, retrofitting buildings, and helping low-income families pay for heating and cooling costs.The administration also plans to provide additional support for offshore wind and energy development in the Gulf of Mexico, and enforce new workplace standards to help protect workers from extreme weather.
"Our children and grandchildren are counting on us," he said. "If we don't keep [climate change] below 1.5C, we lose it all. We don't get to turn it around."President Biden entered office promising to restore US credibility on climate action and overturn the "rollbacks" of President Trump's environmental policy.
Ahead of the Glasgow climate conference, Mr Biden promised the US would provide $11.4bn a year in climate finance by 2024 - to help developing countries tackle and prepare for climate change. But in March he managed to secure just $1bn of that from Congress - only a third more than the Trump-era spending.
Do you mean trilĺion?
He spent more on the Ukrainian Russia war
Peado
It needs trillions.!
Biden should rather go and have a little nap and leave governing to the cognitively capable.
Demand destruction, that's how to start reducing CO2 emissions. We should follow EU's lead and try to reduce consumption by 15%. Stop worrying about votes and do the right thing for a change.
You can't fight climate change.. the ice melts and freezes again. MONEY WON'T SOLVE THIS? Stop giving these aholes your money
Federal reserve fires up the money printer, worsening inflation.
Where’s he getting all that money?
Lmfao , I pledge 23p to climate change also
does that mean Americans are going to learn to use buses and trains?
The modern day king Canute!!
Does it involve air conditioning units?
Waste of money and will make no difference ,as China does nothing
Climate change con
Climate change has been happening for billions of years & will continue for billions more no matter how much money you throw at it! 🤷🏻♂️🥴
Going pay to off shore it is he.. That's essentially what they mean by 'net' zero..
Covid is done so they move on to global warming. The next big fear project will be just around the corner.
We all need to open our eyes and admit climate change is here but it’s nothing to do with man. It’s the big orange ball of fire called Solar.The money we spend will be soon as effective as spending it on tech to cool the sun down a few degrees on the off chance it’ll be different
June 21, 1988, nearly every state in the continental U.S. reported temperatures above 90 degrees, except those in northern New England- SO climate change took a break for 35 years?they predicted doom by 2000 if action not taken,it was not
Billions here, billions there, but just 2 billion for climate change.
Every scientist on earth will back the ‘climate change narrative’ to get a slice of that
he's fighting climate change by buying air conditioning?
that number doesn’t suggest it will help who will be crushed for coal powered battery cars and flying battery airplanes, and solar space tanks to fight the Russians!
How does the president EO a spending directive? That’s congress’s job. Another illegal EO that will end up in court
He can print any amount of money free
Did he? Does he even know what he says on a daily basis? Poor wee guy is out the game
And how much for his personal pockets? AGAIN!
Not enough.
a democrat slush fund...
A fraction of what he sends to Ukraine in weapons and things that aren’t good for the environment.
NOSOTROS APOYAMOS EL AUMENTO SIGNIFICATIVO DE LA TEMPERATURA A NIVEL MUNDIAL PARA DERRETIR LOS POLOS Y TERMINAR CON EL FRÍO CONGELANTE DE LA SIBERIA QUE TIENE A TODO UN PUEBLO PRESO Y ENCERRADO. EL SOL ES LIBERTAD Y FELICIDAD. MUY CORDIALES SALUDOS AL SEÑOR BORIS JOHNSON. CHARLY
Biggest rort of the century climate change. No such thing as climate change.
The only part of that speech that I cared about turned out to not even be true...
Imagine trying to fight the weather and thinking you will win lol
Everyone isn't going to be happy no matter what. What's real is OUR climate. Prevention, saving lives, teaching awareness, adapting are all priority. This could/should be a defining time for us to come together for our future. If you think it's not enough, talk to your senator
He also revealed he has cancer 😳
Climate change/Global warming is very concerning. Do not tin foil hat explain this truth away. The temp in the u.k. this week was unbearable. the hot breeze, melting roads and fires 🔥 lost lives. Something must change. I know 40.3 is not deemed hot, but It felt much hotter 😭
$2.3 billion won't go far, we wasted £37 billion on useless Covid track and trace that didn't work.
Your spending more to fund the war in Ukraine
Clown world 🤡
Good news
Is he going to just shit out the money?
And 400 times that amount to… just… well, fight.
2.3 compared to missiles to Ukraine?
The climate crisis scam is the scam that keeps giving!
Is it to buy sun protection for all the solar panels?
Just to please his climate hoax buddies
Start gd fighting with the inflation
Are they going to bomb green house gases?
No he’s not. He’s trying to mitigate the result of climate change. He isn’t trying to stop it, he’s just trying to mitigate the consequences. And $2.3 billion is a drop in the ocean. It’s the equivalent of handing damp flannels to people living in catastrophic heat.
The words horse door and bolted spring to mind.
World burns and man thinks pissing on it will extinguish it
Sounds like money laundering
