Biden says Trump administration officials ‘dead wrong’ on climate threat
As he closed his speech, Joe Biden warned officials in the incoming Trump administration who deny the existence of the climate crisis that they were “dead wrong”.

“I know … some in the incoming administration are skeptical about the need for clean energy. They don’t even believe climate change is real. I think they come from a different century. They’re wrong. They are dead wrong. It’s the single greatest existential threat to humanity,” the president said.

“The clean energy transition is already happening. China is trying to dominate the clean energy, manufacturing, critical materials supply chains. They want to capture the market of the future and create new dependencies. The United States must win that contest. We will shape the global economy plan for decades to come.”
