From the Amazon rainforest, Biden declares nobody can reverse US progress on clean energy

Joe Biden witnessed the devastation of drought up close as the first sitting American president to set foot the Amazon rainforest. He declared Sunday that nobody can reverse “the clean energy revolution that’s underway in America” even as the incoming Trump administration is poised to scale back efforts to combat climate change. Biden said the fight against climate change has been a defining cause of his presidency. But he’s about to hand off to Republican President-elect Donald Trump, who is highly unlikely to prioritize the Amazon or anything related to climate change.
