Where is he going? Wandering Joe Biden becomes butt of jokes on the Internet as he walks off into the Amazon rainfores

US President Joe Biden is all set to leave the White House as Donald Trump era will commence in January. However, the outgoing Democratic state-head has become the talk of the town, albeit on social media.

Memes flooded the social media as 81-year-old President Biden addressed the press from the dense Amazon forest in Brazil.



The US President was on historic trip to the Amazon rainforest on Sunday to promote his record on fighting climate change. Biden landed in the Brazilian city of Manaus, in the heart of the world's largest jungle, on the penultimate leg of a valedictory South American tour before handing the keys of the White House to Trump in January. With this Biden became the first sitting US president to visit the Amazon.


Biden's Amazon trip came amid fears US President-elect Donald Trump will tear up his environmental policies.

Trump has pledged to reverse Biden's climate policies and could again pull the United States, the world's second-biggest polluter, out of the landmark 2015 Paris Agreement on combatting carbon emissions, as he did during his first term. On Saturday, he nominated a fracking magnate and noted climate change skeptic, Chris Wright, as his energy secretary.

The Amazon, spanning nine countries, is crucial to the fight against climate change due to its ability to absorb planet-warming carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. But it is also one of the areas most vulnerable to climate change and environmental degradation.

This year it experienced the worst wildfires in nearly two decades, fuelled by a severe drought blamed in part by climate experts on global warming. A recent study showed that the Amazon rainforest had lost an area about the size of Germany and France combined to deforestation in four decades. Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has pledged to put a stop to illegal Amazon deforestation by 2030.
