White House Budget Earmarks Billions To Defeat ‘Climate Crisis’ Abroad As Gas Prices Soar

President Joe Biden is aiming to shell out more than $11 billion for climate spending in other countries, according to the White House’s more than $5.7 trillion budget released on Monday.

The proposal, which comes weeks after Congress approved the $1.5 trillion omnibus spending bill for the rest of the year, would allocate $44.9 billion “to tackle the climate crisis.” Such a feat would spawn a $16.7 billion increase from 2021 spending on climate.
