The Biden administration issued what it described as the “first-ever hazard alert” for people working in hot weather as temperatures are slated to soar on Thursday and Friday across much of the East Coast.
In the fact sheet issued by the White House, the administration invoked the “climate crisis” for its need to send out the alert. Since taking office, President Joe Biden has issued a range of sweeping regulations targeting various appliances such as gas stoves, water heaters, air conditioners, and other items in what his administration has said is an attempt to tamp down on emissions.
