Actor Mark Ruffalo says Ukrainian war is a ‘gift’ for Biden to take bold climate action

Actor Mark Ruffalo took the opportunity on Tuesday to call on President Joe Biden to pass bold climate change initiatives after claiming that the war in Ukraine is a “gift” where Biden can use people’s “fears” to pass the legislation.

In an interview with MSNBC’s Katy Tur, Ruffalo expressed that the Biden administration needs to take advantage of the Ukrainian war to push for the transition to green energy–specifically to use people’s disgust with energy prices as leverage.

The Avengers star said, “This is a moment for President Biden to take this, our momentum, people’s fear, their disgust of the war, their disgust with energy prices and–and use that to solidify a message to the American people that now is the time to transition.”

“This where the jobs are, this is where national security is, and we’re going to keep pushing him to do it and this is a gift to the president as we see it and we see him accepting it in such terms,” Ruffalo added.
