Reviewing the damage today, President Biden said, quote, the evidence is clear. Climb change poses an existential threat to our lives, to our economy. The threat is here. Its not going to get any better. The storms are going to get worse and worse and worse. We have to listen to the scientists and the national security experts. They all tell us this is code red. The nation and the world are in peril. That is not hyperbole, that is a fact. President biden speaking today, again, on this trip to New York and new jersey. What, of course, hes proposing to do on climate is whats in his build back better plan, the big Infrastructure Bill that democrats are trying to pass. One thing to sort of have in mind over the next few days is that by The End of this week, we may not know definitively, but we should have a pretty good idea by The End of this week as to whether or not theyll be able to pass this Infrastructure Bill, as to whether or not President Biden is going to be able to effectuate mos
