MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris said Wednesday there is renewed cause for optimism given major U.S. laws enacted recently to tackle the global problem of climate change on multiple fronts. Harris was the star attraction at the Aspen Ideas: Climate conference, now in its second year in Miami Beach. Despite its name, the measure is considered the biggest climate change legislation ever passed in the U.S. with some $370 billion directed to tackling the problem over 10 years. Still, Tom Steyer, a Democratic presidential candidate in 2020, said the legislation has opened the door to more private investment in technology and other efforts to combat climate change — and that the returns will be worth it. “We don't have the luxury of pretending climate change doesn't affect us,” Suarez said, noting the damage from hurricanes Irma and Ian and frequent flooding in his city.

Britain Monkeypox FILE - A sign for monkeypox vaccinations is shown at a vaccination site, Wednesday, Aug. 10, 2022, in Miami Beach, Fla. British health officials say the monkeypox outbreak across the country “shows signs of slowing” but that it's still too soon to know if the decline will be maintained. In July, officials estimated the outbreak was doubling in size about every two weeks. To date, the U.K. has recorded more than 3,000 cases of monkeypox, with more than 70% of cases in London.

With only a limited global supply of vaccines, authorities are racing to stop monkeypox before it becomes entrenched as a new disease.
