While speaking \u200cwith\u200b Weather Channel&#8217;s Stephanie Abrams, Biden was asked about declaring a national emergency regarding climate change. In response, Biden playfully flicked a bug off of Abrams&#8217; shoulder, momentarily interrupting the conversation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;ve got a bug on you,&#8221; Biden said, brushing off the insect. Abrams thanked him and pressed for an answer\u2062 to her question. Biden explained that his \u2063administration has already taken action \u2064by declaring a \u200dnational emergency, emphasizing the urgency of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-live-house-china-select-committee-holds-hearing-on-biden-administrations-strategy\/\" title=\"LIVE: House China select committee hearing on Biden administration's strategy.\">addressing climate \u200dchange<\/a> as &#8220;the existential threat to humanity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The interview, which\u2064 took place at the Grand Canyon in Arizona, aimed to reach a broader audience beyond\u2062 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-swats-insect-off-of-reporter-during-climate-change-interview-you-have-a-bug-on-you\/\" title=\"Biden helps reporter by removing bug during climate change interview.\">regular political news viewers<\/a>. According to White House communications director Ben LaBolt, the intention was to \u2064meet people &#8220;where they are&#8221; and engage those who may not typically follow political news.\u2062 Biden&#8217;s televised interviews are\u200b infrequent, with his last one occurring in \u2062July.<\/p>\n<h3>Public\u200c Opinion on Biden&#8217;s Handling of Climate Change<\/h3>\n<p>A recent \u2064Washington Post\/University of Maryland poll revealed that 57% of adults disapprove of President Biden&#8217;s handling of\u2062 climate change, while 40% approve. The survey also highlighted a \u200bgeneral distrust of both\u2064 political parties when \u2062it comes to climate change. Among the 1,404 adults polled, 59% expressed distrust in the Democratic Party&#8217;s approach, compared to 39% who trust the party. Similarly, 74% distrust the Republican Party&#8217;s stance, while only 24% trust the\u200b GOP on climate change.<\/p>\n<p>Despite differing opinions, the interview provided a glimpse into Biden&#8217;s commitment to\u200d addressing climate change and the challenges his\u200c administration faces in gaining \u2062public support for their initiatives.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click here<\/a> \u200d to read more \u2063from The Washington\u200b Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden swatted away a bug during a TV interview in Arizona.
