Extreme heat, record drought and fire season: the consequences of climate change can be felt very clearly in the USA.
Now the US President is addressing the people with warnings.
Washington - US President Joe Biden has once again issued an urgent warning about the consequences of climate change.
"No challenge is as urgent as climate change," emphasized Biden during a visit to Crystal Lake, Illinois.
Speaking of his meeting with eight western US governors last week, he said, "You are facing extreme heat, a record drought and a fire season that threatens to be much longer, more dangerous and more destructive than ever before." The fight against the crisis cannot be waited any longer. "We see with our own eyes that it is time to act." Dpa
