Climate crisis is driving US heatwave, says Joe Biden – video

The US president blamed the climate crisis for a record-breaking heatwave when he met governors from western states as fierce wildfires burn in northern California. 'Climate change is driving a dangerous confluence of extreme heat and prolonged drought,' Biden said. 'Wildfires are not a partisan phenomenon. They don't stop at a county or a state line or country line for that matter.'
