Boise, Idaho: President Joe Biden sounded alarm on climate change during a trip to Idaho on Monday, his first stop on the US tour of the western state of the state, where he promised to be higher for firefighter and more resources for fight.
This trip aims to highlight its impulse to fight global warming and strengthen infrastructure, while helping fellow Democrats Gavin Newsom trying to defend the Governor of California.
Biden visited the National Fire Extinguisher in Boise, a hub designed to coordinate resources about forest fires – and held a briefing with state and local officials before flying to Sacramento, California, to see wildfire damage in the area.
The President said the fire season in the United States began earlier every year and that this year alone, 44,000 forest fires in the country had consumed 5.4 million hectares (2.2 million hectares) – an area with a new size jersey.
“Alhamdulillah, thank God,” Biden told the firefighters in the room.
“He promised to help federal firefms produce at least $ 15 per hour and said he was committed to raising the salary gap for firefighters who protected federal wildlands.” The reality is that we have a problem of global warming, serious global warming problems, “Biden said, set up economic damage from last year’s extreme weather events at $ 99 billion.
Last week, he called the climate change the existential threat during a trip to New Jersey and New York.
Deputy Principal of the Press Secretary of Karine Jean-Pierre said on Monday that one of the three Americans was influenced by the frequency of extreme weather events and the message of Biden on his first trip to the West Coast as the president was that “the climate crisis in the red code.”
