VIDEO THREAD: Climate activists blocked the GW Parkway into DC on Wednesday morning during rush hour to demand President Biden declare a "climate emergency" and cancel new fossil fuel drilling.

"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?"
