My comment to Biden. Write your own - https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/

Feel free to plagiarize.

To lead on climate change, it's crucial for you to have someone at the helm of the World Bank who takes our global emergency seriously. David Milpass is clearly not that person.

He not only appears to be unwilling to say that he understands that climate change is real, but he is leading the World Bank with policies very detrimental to the world. The head of the World Bank needs to promote financing of clean energy in less developed nations, not penalize them with high interest rates and the World Bank needs to stop funding fossil fuel development all together. You should relieve David Milpass of his duties and replace him with somebody who works in the long term interest of the world.

Can you please let me know whether or not you will replace Mr. Milpass?

It seems Mr Malpass isn't fit to hold the position in the World bank as president. In the UK we seem to have a simillar issue with Liz Truss our new prime minister, who would like to re-introduce fracking licenses and issue new permits to further explore the North Sea for oil and gas, rather than make planning easier for renewables like wind and solar. It beggars belief. Bill, I like your work, please keep it up.

Amen. It was so outrageous that he wouldn't answer the question and good for David Gelles for pushing him. I was screaming at my computer. Out he goes!

Does the President serve at the pleasure of the President of the United States?

David Malpass give waffling a bad name. If I could, I'd add this picture: https://i.pinimg.com/564x/97/b8/57/97b85742116cda25ebe64ac82f4216e5.jpg
