Joe Biden, the first US President to visit the Amazon Rainforest -- and witness the devastation of drought up close
declared that nobody can reverse “the clean energy revolution that’s underway in America”
even as the incoming Trump administration is poised to reverse the clean energy revolution that’s underway in America
The massive Amazon region, which is about the size of Australia, stores huge amounts of the world’s carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas driving climate change.
But development is rapidly depleting the world’s largest tropical rainforest, and rivers are drying up.
Biden said the fight against climate change has been a defining cause of his presidency
— he’s pushed for cleaner air, water and energy, including legislation that marked the most substantial federal investment in history to fight global warming.
