Joe Biden's Massive Motorcade of Gas-Guzzling SUVs Arrives For His Speech on Climate Change

President Joe Biden announced new executive steps to combat climate change on Wednesday, but fell short of issuing a climate-emergency declaration as some Democrats have called for amid stalled negotiations over major environmental legislation in Washington.

"Since Congress is not acting as it should ... this is an emergency and I will look at it that way," Biden said. "As president, I'll use my executive powers to combat the climate crisis in the absence of executive action."
