[video clip] >> in 2030, inflation reduction act act is projected to increase of the power. by 2030, electric -- but just to be deployed through u.s. power grid is expected to be powered by 81% clean energy. imagine the impact on climate and the air we breathe. the world will help meet

all the claimant goes by cutting climate pollution in half by 2030. between inflation reduction act and bipartisan infrastructure law we are investing more than $50 billion to build resilience in impacts on climate change. these laws support important priorities to address a historic drought on the colorado river basin. remember when i said we had concern about colorado river going dry, y'all thought i was crazy but i was just looking down in the grand canyon and guess what? it is coming back. responding to coastal erosion, helping to reduce the effects of extreme he did by investing nearly $1.5 billion to plant trees and expend community parks and forests. there is a lot more. this law is helping families save thousands of dollars every

year through tax credit and rebates to bite new and efficient electric appliances -- buy new and efficient electric appliances. it is estimated the consumer will save at least $27 billion in electric between now and 2030. [applause] host: president biden touting provisions of the inflation reduction act. this morning we want to note do you believe climate change is a major threat. those are the phone lines this morning. he heard the president talk about how the inflation reduction act providing tax incentives for consumers. if you are one of them and have taken advantage of it, your line this morning for green energy users is 202-748-8002. before we get to your cause, axios did a piece recently, climate changes multilevel

sticker shock and it is what they write, hidden cost of living in u.s. and u.s. areas particularly susceptible to extreme weather becoming increasingly more obvious and expensive. intense heat, devastating floods, and wildfires, natural disasters caused or worsened by climate change are disrupting life globally. as climate change worsens, july hottest month on record globally. the cost of living in vulnerable regions could drive out residents. it has potential to reshape local politics, economies, and cultures. extreme weather created multiple challenges for the world's food supply. access reported which may -- axios reported which may lead to food scarcity. in florida, property insurance rates skyrocketing making locals and transplants we life in the sunshine state. in arizona, electricity bills

baloney even before a stifling weeks along heat wave broke records in phoenix. in california, health-care costs piling up as research has shown wildfire smoke leads to increase emergency room visit. housing markets in u.s. have yet to fully price in these risk, leaving many properties significantly overvalued according to one economist. asterisk begin to manifest, housing markets will adjust -- as the risk began to manifest, housing markets will adjust at a little weight on house prices -- housing markets will adjust and it will wait on house prices. kayla in pennsylvania, you answered yes, why do you think it is a major threat? kayla? caller: hi, good morning. host: we are listening, go ahead. caller: one large reason i think

climate change is a major it is because of, especially vulnerable countries are the one suffering the most in my opinion human incorporation decisions to increase fossil fuels such. an idea to help mitigate these effects is to increase the international affairs budget because less than 1% of the federal budget is spent on international aid and i was wondering if congress in general agrees with that idea and why or why not. host: all right, caleb. roger in california. tell us what you think. caller: yes, i think you have to look at the facts when you talk

about global warming. for example, crop yields have increased 25% since 2000. global malaria is down 37% free people stay with global warming mosquitoes will be more dangerous, they are not. double life expectancy in 1950 was 48 years old -- life expect to see in activity 48 years old. fossil fuels have made life and quality of life of most people outside of the united states better, not worse. these arguments are never brought up when we talk about global warming. it has become a politicized issue and it is not based in science and the facts. host: dave in new orleans. you are a green energy user. what have you purchased? caller: i purchased solar

panels. the solar panels, you have roof damage, that can be an issue. i wish i had help on that. the other thing when we lose power like the hurricane, the batteries, i need batteries to my garage to power the house and that is an issue, getting batteries, and i wish somebody would work on that. host: what was the incentive for you to do solar panels? caller: the cost savings. i've been saving about $100 per month. the solar panels for the savings is worth it. when it came out with the batteries come that was the other incentive because if we do have a major outfit, some people lose power for months during a hurricane, and those with the batteries and solar panels, they do not lose anything. host: what about tax rebates?

did you get a tax rebate? caller: i did not -- back to talk to my tax person on that. i asked about that but i think -- i know what it was. i forgot the reason why. host: melissa in tennessee. you think climate change is a major threat. caller: yeah. all you have to do is turn on the news and see what is happening in maui. hawaii is a tropical island. maui is a tropical island. in my lifetime i had never heard of forest fires happening in maui. now we have a fire that has killed hundreds of people and it is apparently caused by drought. that is a major problem. i used to be one of those people like your first caller that

answered no. a political issue and all i have done is gone back and look at what is happened in the summer's from when i was a kid to now. and have it in the same place for all my life. we used to never hear people dying from heat related causes unless they were working out like on a football team or working outside and now you have people dying in their own homes just because of the heat. you have massive flooding. . you have forest fires in california, pretty much year-round now. yes, i do believe climate change has become a major threat. host: front page of the wall street journal this morning, utility new wildfires were a threat in maui but waited years to act. during between 19 wildfire season one of the worst maui had

seen, hawaii and electric included in needed to do more to prepare it -- prevent powerlines from committing sparks. started flying drones over the territory and about to take steps to protect its equipment and its customers from the threat of fire. nearly four years later, the company has completed little such work. between 2019 and a need to invest at less than 245,000 on wildfire specific projects on the island. it did not seek state approval to raise rates to pay for broad wildfire safety improvements until 2022 and it has yet to receive it. glenn in texas, you say, now. we are talking about climate change being a major threat and looking at pictures right now the wildfire devastation in

maui. host: -- caller: ok. powerlines are naked. there is no coating on the ines and when it cl together it is what causes sparks. the biggest threat to climate change is joe biden. all the money he dedicates to the reduction act has to come from the house and they're not going to give him any money. joe biden is the biggest threat to climate change, him and john kerry both the biggest threat to climate change. climate turns around a year to year. you check your home you will find climate change is a fraud. it is an idea to get more money for political gain. host: do you think house republicans should put up a fight over these inflation

reduction climate provisions

that congress remains far from reaching any agreement on spending levels that would keep the government running on a longer-term basis. chuck schumer referring to a temporary spending measure that would give them more time for more bills that need to be passed and avoid a shutdown altogether. the appropriations committee last month on a bipartisan basis. appearing on tv as part of a planned victory lap to mark the anniversary of the ira, mr. schumer called the discussion with mr. mccarthy a good sign. more on that if you want to read in the new york times. they agreed that they need a stopgap spending bill while they continue spending levels and the climate provisions energy provisions in the inflation reduction act.

this morning after president biden mark the one-year anniversary of that bill, we are asking you do you consider climate change a major threat? let's hear from jeff in maryland. >> climate change is such a significant threat that when it comes to pass when your children ask what will you tell them. when you hear -- what will you tell them? when temperatures are so elevated their outdoor recess is eliminated what will you tell them? when prices are obscene when your adult children go food shopping what will you tell them? when warm summer breezes deformed fetuses because of mosquito borne diseases what will you tell them?

what will you tell them? your gas guzzling suv kills the planet. children have seen. you had no alarm when hearing of fossil fuels' harm. what will you tell them? when asthma cases spike, they saw you ignore the disadvantaged plight. what will you tell them? companies' compliance to regulation was practiced vice on their altars of success. all of earth's children were sacrificed. what words to describe their parents' morals will they choose when they ask, what did you do when climate scientists gave you clues? though scientists were such a poor. children's future, a privilege

to ignore. is that what you will tell them? addiction to fossil fuels made you deliberately obtuse. thousands of years ago my scriptures warning showed but don't trust me, look up first corinthians 11:31. who among us humbly submit to judgment? it is not the religious. it is the scientists. warnings they gave from fossil fuels we must repent, but ignored for science-based alternatives to avoid co2's predicament. will your children -- pollution? will they think your brains were missing because of your acceptance of corporate greed watching? they watch now negligent activity
