"What declaring a national emergency on climate would do, is to allow the president to move billions of dollars to tackle challenges we face,” Sen. Merkley said. “Energy efficiency, so that we use less fossil energy and building out renewable energy infrastructure. We have to electrify everything with renewable energy."

The senator said that he would like to see the administration roll out a measure every week that helps tackle the climate crisis.

One step would be bringing together several agencies including the Department of the Interior and Department of Energy to address the issue.
