Biden Calls for Action After Touring Hurricane-Damaged Communities in Florida
President Joe Biden declared that events like Hurricane Ian, wildfires, and droughts have effectively ended the debate over climate change and the need for action. His comments came after a visit to Florida’s Gulf Coast on Wednesday, where he and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden toured areas hardest hit by the storm. The Bidens were met with a warm reception from Republican Governor Ron DeSantis and his wife, Casey, in Fort Myers Beach, a town devastated by the near Category-5 storm. The president’s remarks underscore the urgency to address climate change, especially in the wake of increasingly severe natural disasters.
