Democrats continued to voice their opposition on Sunday to Sen. Joe Manchin's (D-W.Va.) apparent decision last week to close the door on a climate and energy package.
Why it matters: The failure to produce a package expanding clean energy and electric vehicle investments will make it more difficult for the U.S. to meet its climate change targets.
A deadly heat wave is enveloping France and the U.K. after tormenting Spain and Portugal, bringing the likelihood of a new all-time high temperature record in both countries. Climate change is a key factorinvolved in this ongoing disaster, scientists say.
The big picture: This is one of the worst heat waves on record in Western Europe, and is accompanied by a wildfire crisis that has prompted thousands to evacuate parts of France, Spain and Portugal.
