WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris called climate change an “immediate” and “urgent” crisis Monday as she detailed Biden administration efforts to respond to disasters such as deadly flooding in Kentucky and wildfires ravaging her home state of California.
Harris was set to announce more than $1 billion in grants available to states to address flooding and extreme heat exacerbated by climate change. The competitive grants will help communities across the nation prepare for and respond to climate-related disasters.
“The frequency has accelerated in a relatively short period of time,” Harris said. “The science is clear. Extreme weather will only get worse, and the climate crisis will only accelerate.″
The White House is leading a government-wide response to climate disasters that “recognizes the urgency of this moment and our ability to do something about it,” she said.
The vice president was at the hurricane center for a briefing before visiting Florida International University, where she is expected to announce grants to defend against extreme weather events across the country.

Build a huge pipeline from the Mississippi river to the Colorado river. Less water where you have too much and more water where you have too little. Too easy for the big brains to handle I guess.
The political science is clear. We must waste as much money as possible to collapse the country and bring on the Great Reset so you can own nothing and be happy while eating bug protein burgers and cultured meat chicken nuggets.
Is Brandon coughing too much to make the handout announcements himself?
She wants federal money and won’t do anything about open borders. Furthermore she should tell he moron governor, Gavin Jackass Newsom to mitigate fire danger through responsible forestry practices. This ain’t rocket science.
States like KY, TN, WV seldom receive those grants because they have to fight for them against large states like CA. The people in small states take care of each other. The flooding we are seeing in KY is caused by dams being removed by the government to force independent self reliant people to move to the cities when they can’t rebuild. All they have to do is take away their homes & jobs. KY has been devastated twice in a year. Pray for them.
