Biden becomes first sitting US president to visit Amazon rainforest

ai generated text

US President Joe Biden recently became the first sitting American president to visit the Amazon rainforest, where he witnessed the devastating effects of deforestation and drought. The Amazon region is the world's largest tropical rainforest and stores significant amounts of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. Biden pledged $50 million to Brazil's Amazon Fund to support conservation efforts.

    1. I'm proud to become the first sitting president to visit the Amazon.
    2. The world's forest trees breathe carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, and yet each minute, the world is chopping down the equivalent (of) 10 soccer fields worth of forest.
    3. This is not just Brazil's responsibility but a global fight for humanity.
    4. The fight to protect our planet is literally a fight for humanity.
    5. It's true, some may seek to deny or delay the clean energy revolution that's underway in America. But nobody, nobody can reverse it, nobody — not when so many people, regardless of party or politics, are enjoying its benefits.

    2. That said, we can't expect concrete results from this visit.
