Description
The world has been hit by several milestone climate disasters
recently. And while those events are unfolding largely as predicted
because of climate change, the speed of their arrival has stunned some
experts. POLITICO's Zack Colman breaks down how world governments are
reacting to these record-breaking disasters and if it’s too late to take
meaningful climate action. Plus, the Supreme Court is directing the
Biden administration to respond by July 25 to a request from the
developers of the Mountain Valley Pipeline to override a lower court
ruling halting construction through a national forest.
