President Biden Faces Pressure to Declare National Climate Emergency
--------------------------------------------------------------------

President Biden is traveling to Massachusetts today to give a major
address on the climate crisis. Climate activists have been pushing Biden
to declare a national climate emergency, but the Associated Press said
the president will not take that step today, which would have granted
him additional powers to address the crisis. Biden will be speaking in
the Massachusetts town of Somerset at a former coal plant that's being
turned into a wind energy plant.
