VIDEO THREAD: Climate activists blocked inbound rush hour traffic into Washington DC this morning to demand President Biden declare a "Climate Emergency" and cancel the Willow Project.

They say his approval of new drilling would offset any enviro gains from electric vehicles.

Two school busses were among the vehicles blocked by climate activists this morning during rush hour in Washington DC.

"I get y'all's protest, but we've got kids on the school bus that have to get to school!" one driver said.

"This is ridiculous!"

"I have an interview today, are you serious?" yelled one angry driver, who said she's unemployed. "That's not fair! This is the wrong way to go about it!"

"So I'm supposed to be unemployed again? If I miss this interview, what's gonna happen to my family?"
