The US midterms made waves Wednesday at a UN climate summit on the shores of Egypt, with activists urging President Joe Biden to take bolder action against global warming regardless of the result.

Campaigners were optimistic that Biden's $370 billion green energy legislation would not be thwarted even if Republicans take one or both houses of Congress.

"We are literally at the tipping point for an unlivable world," she said at a news conference, urging Biden to phase out fossil fuel production and use his presidential powers to declare a climate emergency. While Republicans seem on track to reclaim the House of Representatives, Democrats appear to have a decent chance of keeping their Senate majority."Being propped up by fossil fuels, election denying, and climate denying really didn't work out so well for them."

But activists said a Republican victory in the House would endanger Biden's pledge to contribute $11.4 billion to a $100 billion per year fund from rich countries to help developing ones green their economies.READ |After the new Congress is known, all eyes will quickly turn to the 2024 presidential election, with Donald Trump hinting that he will announce his intentions on November 15.
