As Hurricane Idalia left a wake of destruction Wednesday, President Joe Biden said, "I don't think anybody can deny the impact of the climate crisis anymore." Climate activist and scientist Peter Kalmus calls for Biden to declare a climate emergency in order to unleash the government's ability to transition away from fossil fuels.

Kalmus blasts the fossil fuel industry for manipulating politics through campaign contributions, and GOP presidential candidates for misleading the public about climate science. "As a parent, as a citizen and as a scientist, I find it appalling and disgusting," declares Kalmus. "I can't mince words anymore."
