Following two weeks of severe flooding in several areas in the northeast of the country, the US federal government has announced a new plan to combat climate change. The plan includes a commitment to reduce carbon emissions by 50% by 2030, increase investment in clean energy and the transition to electric vehicles, as well as expanding forests and green spaces across the country.
This move comes after repeated warnings from climate scientists about the worsening of extreme weather events due to global warming, and President Joe Biden's pledge to make climate change one of his administration's top priorities. It is expected to spark widespread debate about environmental, economic, and political issues in the United States.
