🔥Hot Take 🔥: Did Biden really call a climate emergency? Not quite – here’s the real story! 🌎
🎯 Reality Check: Unfounded 🗑️
📝 Why: There’s no official record of President Biden declaring a national climate emergency. While he has called climate change an emergency and taken several executive climate actions, the White House has NOT issued a formal emergency declaration under the National Emergencies Act for climate change. In July 2023, Biden said “practically speaking, yes” when asked if he’d declared one, but officials confirmed no legal declaration had been made (see BBC, CNN, The Guardian).
