Summary
President Biden became the first sitting U.S. president to visit the Amazon rainforest, emphasizing the global urgency of combating climate change.
During his historic visit, he called protecting the environment “a fight for humanity, citing achievements such as rejoining the Paris Agreement, boosting climate financing to $11 billion annually, and advancing green energy through the Inflation Reduction Act
He announced new conservation efforts, including $50 million for the Amazon Fund, and declared Nov. 17 as International Conservation Day.
Biden urged leaders to prioritize both environmental protection and economic growth, leaving a climate-focused legacy amid concerns over President-elect Trump’s rollback plans.
How did he fail to rise to the occasion?
This is a fair question. The people voted for fascism. What’s he supposed to do, stage a coup to try and overturn the election results?
He wanted to, and thought he could rise to the occasion but old age got to him.
Right, almost any legislation he tried to pass was blocked by Congress because of Manchin and Sinema.
If we blame/punish politicians for trying then why would they keep trying?
Manchin and Sinema were enacting the will of party leadership.
Oh you naive summer child.
Your non answer is telling
Biden fit nicely into the status quo Democrat role, which was never going to help anything against the Republican fucks who give more shits about their power than serving the country. Do let me know if I need to spell out any other obvious realities to you - and your daft upvoters.
